Today in a chilly, foggy San Francisco, hundreds of attorneys, judges, and other legal professionals gathered on the steps of the federal courthouse to re-take our #oath to support the #Constitution and the #ruleoflaw, one of 87 simultaneous #LawDayofAction events across the USA. #MayDay indeed. ⚖️

"I had not expected the monarchy to come so soon, but it is here, and it is sitting on the throne." -Mark Twain Worth seeing this one-man Richard Thomas (based on Hal Holbrook) play if you can. Worth reading this too: www.online-literature.com/twain/my-aut... #NoKings #democracy #constitution

I have so much #gratitude and #respect this week for another Jane who has shown us the way. #difficultwomen #strength #insight #RIPJaneGoodall

87 years old and she is still leading by example. Go, Jane! #firstamendment #freespeech #freepress #wethepeople #humanrights #democracy #constitution #purpose #goodtrouble

Yes, I was off chasing waterfalls again. Sometimes I have to remind myself to rise above the unproductive noise that has increased (even in the nonprofit world) since last November, and just continue to let my outrage fuel the best work I can do. #mission #purpose #goodtrouble #humanrights

Grateful for this rose garden today, in full glorious bloom amidst a young redwood grove in our cool and foggy Golden Gate Park. It brings peace, but at the same time reminds us that we have so much to fight for. #SanFrancisco #ILoveThisCity #StandUp

SFGate is now estimating from press photos that the #SanFrancisco crowd size for the #NoKings march from Dolores Park to Civic Center Plaza was close to 100,000. It certainly felt like it. @50501movement.bsky.social @50501ca.bsky.social @indivisible.org @indivisiblesf.bsky.social @moveon.org

No Kings - San Francisco June 14 2025. Nope. No paid protesters. Not one. Tens of thousands were outraged enough to do this for free. Gratitude to the organizers for bringing us safely together. #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @indivisiblesf.bsky.social @moveon.org

San Francisco - June 14 2025. Tens of thousands filled Civic Center Plaza at the end of a 1.5 mile march. At this point only about half the crowd was here, the rest were still walking the Market Street parade route. #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisiblesf.bsky.social @indivisible.org

No Kings - San Francisco, June 14 2025. Tens of thousands gathered at Dolores Park in the Mission to begin this peaceful protest march. I love this city. #nokings @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @indivisiblesf.bsky.social @moveon.org

No crowns. No thrones. No kings. Those are principles America was founded upon. On June 14, let’s stand together again to remind Trump and all of our fellow Americans that we don’t do kings in this country: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

500 or so lawyers gathered on the steps of the San Francisco Federal Courthouse at noon today to re-swear the attorney oath to uphold the #Constitution, after an exuberant rally in support of the right of #dueprocess and #righttocounsel for all. #NationalLawDayofAction #MayDay

Spring flowers found between the legal conferences, protest marches, and rain showers last week. Just putting this out there as a reminder that, while we must keep fighting for a better future for our country, we must also keep finding joy and inspiration in the things we are fighting for. Andiamo.

I gotta get me one of these. 🙄

Here's something to keep in your back pocket on #April5 in case you need a little peaceful inspiration (or de-escalation). @50501movement.bsky.social @50501activists.bsky.social @50501california.bsky.social @womensmarch.bsky.social @indivisible.org @indivisiblesf.bsky.social #handsoff #democracy

Instead of using Amazon, please consider: Better: If you must buy online, use eBay or Etsy, especially from nearby small businesses. Best: Buy goods/services in person from small businesses in your local neighborhood merchant corridors, local pop-up markets, or supported maker spaces and kiosks.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
