Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers!
Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.

Happy day to all! One of my favorite visitors, the Pine Marten! I love their high energy level. They have a high metabolic rate, and semi- retractable claws. They are excellent swimmers, and are able to rotate their ankles 180 degrees!

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

"The most urgent news isn’t the selective history recorded in the redacted Epstein files. It’s what the president is doing with his immense power, here, now, in public, apparently so that [Ghislaine Maxwell] a child sex trafficker won’t tell what she knows." @toddzwillich.bsky.social

Trump has distorted the political landscape so badly that it's warping the moral intuitions of people and institutions of account.

Elon is claiming there will be no jobs in another 20 years: Everything will be done by computers using AI. No more truck drivers, cab drivers, school bus drivers, cops, firefighters, farm workers. Some white collar jobs may remain but for manual labor/MAGA voters, WTAF WILL THEY DO FOR A LIVING?

While it's still fairly difficult to prove a negative...
Releasing the Epstein files would show who isn't in them, by showing who *is* in them. Might not be entirely conclusive, but it *would* be extremely strong circumstantial evidence.

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.
