BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Life comes at you fast.

What if you are protesting by the California State Capitol in Sacramento and you need to pee? See comments for where public restrooms can be found. #50501sacramento #sacramento

My new piece is up. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

GET OUTSIDE AND STAND UP FOR OUR COMMUNITIES! All weekend, front and back of 650 Capitol Mall in Sacramento or find a location near you.

This is our local milkweed bush. It’s the only plant monarch butterfly larvae feed on. They grow plentifully and are quite resilient. It's getting ready to spread its seeds. Nature protects its own. 🌱

hey I'm taping my special soon in San Francisco, and doing last shows the week before in Sacramento (2/21) and Los Angeles (2/22). Tell people you know there to buy tickets please.

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

TODAY, 1/8! 5 pm N Street behind 650 Capitol Mall. KEEP SHOWING UP!

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

The Fremont Park group will be joining those at 650 Capitol after 7pm.

Outrage: ICE kills Renee Nicole Good. ICE thugs in the streets from LA 2 Minneapolis 2 NYC are a danger to us all! Repression of immigrants drives down wages & conditions for everybody! We can’t let them get away with this. The working class must fight back against this assault!

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

Call to action Sacramento

New: I spoke with a Colombian asylum seeker who was the victim of a ‘Kavanaugh stop’ about what it was like to be racially profiled, abducted in front his family and held in ICE detention hours from home for more than a month—despite doing everything “the right way.” This is Nick’s story.

🌱Today’s flower/plant photo is some Heliopsis helianthoides 'Bleeding Hearts' along with light purple spikes of Agastache (Anise Hyssop). The Anise Hyssop is one of my absolute favourites, it has the most amazing smell, it’s no wonder bees and lots of other beneficial insects love it❤️

I'm continuing to share well reported articles on US imperialism in Venezuela from independent non-profit news organization NACLA (North American Congress on Latin America).

Sacramento's emergency protest today against US attacks on Venezuela coincided with the SacAnime convention getting out. #venezuela #sacanime #sacramento #anti-imperialism

"The only way we can defend Venezuela is through relying on ourselves and the strength of the working class, not the Democratic Party of imperialist war and Palestinian Genocide, or the UN, or international law…. Mobilize the U.S. working class against the bloody imperialists!"

I feel like letting every president of my lifetime get away with Unlimited War Crimes was a serious mistake

Hey #sacanime folks in non rain soluble costumes, come on down to 16th and J Streets for some anti-imperialism protest.

Protest Today: No War on Venezuela Saturday, January 3 at 3pm J Street and 16th in Sacramento #answercoalition #sacramento #venezuela

Today's US attack on Venezuela alters the significance of the federal recall of National Guard troops from domestic deployment two days ago. It was not a political loss for Trump, but preparation for war. In the currently volunteer US army, the National Guard is the largest troop reserve.

Here's a growing list of emergency protests demanding no war with Venezuela.

Workers & oppressed: Stand w/ Venezuela against US imperialist aggression! Release Maduro now! Whatever one’s opinion of the Maduro regime, its overthrow at the hands of the US is an attack against all workers & peasants of Latin America & the Global South. iclfi.org/spartacist/e...

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Lisa D. writes to WV about when militant New Jersey autoworkers successfully headed off a deportation raid by La Migra in the 1970s at the Mahwah plant, and the lessons this fight has for union militants today. Check it out here: workersvanguard.org/1188/auto-immigrants

What is the thing where when you call a service line and the automated voice has typing noises interspersed with its robotic speaking lines, like it's click-clacking on its little imaginary keyboard?

Thanks to my public library and the Libby app, I checked out 263 books in 2025. About a third were returned only partially read due to awfulness, or the realization I'd read it within the last few years, or the book clashed with the current state of my brain. #reading #books #libraries #audiobooks

Hoping 2026 is kind of like this.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year. Here's to a 2026 full of days spent enjoying the California coast. #ProtectOurCoastAndOcean

Happy 10-year anniversary to my former street kitty. #Cats #GotchaDay

As Berkeley Hills residents clear vegetation around their homes to prevent wildfires, they're developing a new landscape design paradigm.

I have a tradition of watching the sunset over the ocean on New Year’s Eve. But since we’re about to get hammered with days of rain, I went a little early.

It’s that time of year for native plant gardeners . . . #nativeplants #wintersowing 🌱 #gardening

This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.

Celebrating 41 years of sobriety today.
