Fwiw the environmentalists have developed a deep inventory of nonviolent direct action tactics -- "change outside the political process" as earth first says-- that are easy to learn in a group, guide you through planning, can stop them from picking you off, and can take ground from them and hold it

Very curious to see how the 2nd Amendment worshippers try to pretend this was not a clear violation of that. And a legally concealed gun is not a brandished weapon. Insane times.

ICE executed a U.S. citizen today. Unarmed. Unprovoked. Then they lied to justify it. Congress funds ICE. Congress sets the rules. Congress can stop this violence if we force them to act. Use the tool. Flood their offices. Accountability or complicity. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

Thank you, @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social, for spelling out my resolution for 2026.

I’ve never felt more seen. Sobbing-over-my-eggs-and-toast seen. This is why I’m cutting off friends, family, acquaintances.

Rainy day = perfect light.

Let’s all keep fighting these monsters. Resist!

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

If you’re struggling, please consider rescuing a pup. You’ll figure it out if you lead with love. Welcome to the family, Indy!

here's today's post: "he’s so fucking guilty — and everyone knows it" — what a ridiculous charade. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

These amazing folks are feeding our at-risk neighbors. Please help if you can.

Let's get to work!

I’m growing food. #resist

Claremont CA showed up! #NoKings

Happy Loving Day! Thank you, Mama Bear, for being so good to my dad.

Ready for Saturday. LFG, as the littles say. #nokings

Gifts+serindipitous purchase= my favorite corner at home.

Small moments when we aren’t fighting the patriarchy

To all of the step parents and queer parents who work just as hard but are not acknowledged as a “real parent;” to pet moms; to anyone separated from their mama today by loss or incarceration or estrangement or something else: I see you and celebrate you.

Heirloom photography: I created these collections to metabolize loss. Creating art saved me in 2021 during the worst of Covid.

Day one of the harvest! I’ll be lycopene-rich when the shelves are bare, at least.

Congratulations, Canada, for saving yourselves from us. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

#MomSky Keep Reposting

I’ve crossed some sort of threshold but I haven’t labeled it yet. Is “squirrel lady” a thing?

Sharing is caring. #resist

I was so grateful for my city's peaceful demonstration yesterday. Thank you Claremont, CA and all of the #handsoff folks who marched to preserve democracy! I'm proud of us!

The best thing I saw today. Photo credit to Michael Wagner of Claremont. #handsoff2025

Let's go, neighbors!

Indian Canyons, Palm Springs

1974. So hot you needed a popsicle, cowboy hat, and boots.

Someone passed their driver’s test. Today was a victory.

I’m so proud of my city. #resist

Just saying.

Oh, Western Redbud. I’m relieved when you bloom but I dread our hot California summers that challenge your ability to thrive. Let’s continue to fight the fascists and thrive while we still can.

Taken the day before I said goodbye to my mom in 2014.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

The storm before the calm. I’m transforming a lounging area into a garden because maybe I’ll die later if I’m growing my own food. I’m hoping to expand to share with my community.

Are eggs cheaper yet?

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important https://thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lonely-but-beautiful-actions

Don’t let the fascists steal your joy.

Secret camp, Sierra Nevada.

Maybe my family is a teeny bit safer today.

@hodgman.bsky.social says nostalgia is a toxic impulse, but how can you resist grabbing this when your in-laws are clearing out their home?

It’s always nice to have help with your homework.

Don’t forget to do this.
