Meet Alaska, Oliver, and Olivia--all from Oakland's wonderful SPCA (Alaska back in 2013). Always delightful fun, they've been a huge support for post-election-despair.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Please be right. I'm impatient and trying not to nibble all day.

Based on all trends, early voting data, and public polling, my predictions for the four major elections are as follows:

Spanberger +9
Sherrill +3
Mamdani +12
Prop 50 passes +18

Let me know your thoughts on the comments.

Also Yes on Prop 50, dear Californians.

A few days off work, so went with Mr M to the Durham University Botanic Garden today. Very grey day and raining on and off. But the tree foliage colours are spectacular this year, even in dull weather. 😊

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I don't idolize politicians or fan boy after any of them. They are all servants and tools that must be used by the majority to make life better. If they do well, reward them. If they fail, replace them.

But, man, I'm rooting for Mamdani. All this Islamophobia & hate? I hope he wins big on Tuesday.

The Eurasian Jay, extremely intelligent, they can hide acorns in thousands of places. The few they forget end up growing as trees. Expanding the forest for the next generation. This one got its fill of peanuts by a local feeder!

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

An immature great blue heron (Ardea herodias) caught in the first sunlight to reach Tingley Beach this morning. Photo taken on October 28, 2025.

#nature #naturephotography #birds #heron

A large bird, on long legs, at the water's edge. The plumage is mostly gray, but tinged slightly red by the rising sun. The cap is dark gray and the eye is yellow. The beak is long and sharp. One leg ends in the water; the other is slightly lifted, revealing the bird's toes. The background is the pond's surface, including fine ripples.
