Former Twitter nerd, nostalgic only for the 140-character limit. My interest is advocacy, especially for active transportation, ecological sanitation for rural housing affordability, and the marine trades, including the restoration of wooden vessels.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

With ICE (maybe) waiting in the wings, Newport sits in limbo
A missing helicopter and a possible immigrant detention center have roiled the coastal city.

It's so hard to watch n'hood residents treat city/agency staff like garbage at meetings just because they disagree w a street design proposal. We need mediators or some staff who enforce basic, respectful meeting laws. I'm tired of staff being talked over and disrespected. It's not OK!
