Have received a lot of questions about how to find these protests and rallies in the DC area.

The Movement Infrastructure Project is a great resource.

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”
CBS NEWS: “.. the water released from dams at Lake Kaweah and Lake Success is rushing into a dry lakebed in the Central Valley, where experts say it can't flow to Southern California and will likely go to waste.”

Twitter/X is a dangerous propaganda site. It's beyond me why anyone is still there. I had deleted all my tweets and locked my account... but deleted it yesterday. Please leave Twitter, everyone.

The only way we can defend our parks at this point is to protest.

Take to the streets and protest like your lives and loved ones depend on it.
Because they do

State of social media in my IRL circle:

Facebook friends more vocal about politics and pushing back when their "friends" who are supporters of current administration post in their replies.

IRL friends joining Bluesky and closing or planning to close other accounts.

There's momentum here. LFG.

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward.

They can't just wish it away unless we let them.
Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms

Spent a chunk of this morning at our local library. Not the first time, but really soaked up the “third space” and all the bonus things besides all the books and other media….extensive art gallery, used bookstore, Lunar New Year Lego display (AMAZING). So lucky to have this.
