We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out. Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

A friend and former St. Paul resident is going to be the first Diné elected to the city council in Gallup, NM. She got 60% of the vote there. ❤️ navajotimes.com/reznews/sier...

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

My favorite guide to sub-national elections around the US.

"The hotel at the present location would cast shadows and dim the vibrant and golden late afternoons on the boulevard, especially around Peet’s." - NIMBYs rise in defense of the golden late afternoon light on currently vacant downtown parcels. #Urbanism #Petaluma #Nextdoor

My niece, all of 12 years old, read my article about the government shutdown and cancellation of SNAP funding She has now planned a rally for next week and is fundraising for the local food bank and encouraging others to donate. This kid man… she’s incredible.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

We live in an episode of Veep

There was a huge turnout for the Renaissance Petaluma launch yesterday. I hope this becomes another constructive counterpoint to downtown NIMBYism. www.renaissancepetaluma.org #Petaluma #SmallBusiness #Urbanism

Too many people are fine with their taxes being spent on foreign wars, genocide and ICE but not on feeding the hungry, housing the poor or helping the sick. They will scream about their “tax dollars” helping someone buy a $1 soda, but won’t demand accountability for billions wasted on destruction.

Educated minds for all Halloweeners 👻

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

The dirty side of Hurricane Melissa is on Jamaica Keep them in your thoughts

It is so motivating to see how strongly Petaluma is turning out in support of the day laborer community. Let's keep it up! #Petaluma #SonomaCounty #NDLON

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Hey here's a tangible way to help day laborers in Petaluma and Sonoma County:

what in the moral valuation of women meets moral judgement of renters is happening in this choice of photo to visually represent "bad tenants" dare I say it but 365 partygirls still deserve housing xoxo

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

Yesterday am at Clear Creek The letter M is faintly visible on Mount Zion

The #EpsteinBallroom may be a great place to hold American/Nuremberg type hearings before it is then demolished. 🙄

Petalumans and locals with clue about surveillance tech: Tomorrow our Public Safety Advisory Ctte discusses ALPRs and drones. ALPRs have been abused for ICE, and surveilling people who've received abortions across state lines. Please write in: cityofpetaluma.primegov.com/Portal/Meeti...

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

I grew up in Southern California, and loved lowrider shows. Thank you Petaluma Art Center for a great event. #Lowrider #Petaluma #SonomaCounty

Plot twist: High-viz clothes are *more* dangerous for pedestrians. "Wearing high-visibility clothing could actually make [cars' pedestrian detection] technology less likely to spot a person strolling in the dark."

PHILLY I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

"I just remember being in a boat observing dead fish all around me... It smelled like a war zone." Yurok Nation member and author Amy Bowers Cordalis shares the story of the biggest dam removal project in U.S. history: buff.ly/WB7rYZP

I applaud the design. #nokings

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

I know a lot of people took pictures of me and Charlene in/on our inflatable unicorn costumes in the Petaluma No Kings March, but we didn't get one. If anyone can share a picture with us, we'd appreciate it.

Haven't seen any crowd estimates yet but it was happening in downtown Petaluma! #NoKings

Roosters revolt. No Kings, Petaluma-style. #NoKings #Petaluma #SonomaCounty

The American centrist punditocracy has decided that what the US transit industry needs are endless lectures about the importance of security. These writers misunderstand the problem, and are making things worse. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Got my updated passport AND used the facilities best aligned with my gender. And tomorrow we hit the streets. I will exercise the hell out of my freedoms, and I hope you do too.

We’re not a serious country anymore.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

“Our” little phoebe will sometimes land on this string of patio lights just 8 feet away if we don’t immediately see that it landed 20 feet away on the fence ready to catch a mealworm snack tossed in its direction. Ok, phoebe, yes I’ll get a snack 😂 Black Phoebe #birds SoCal Flycatcher

No Kings rally in Petaluma. Family friendly and it should be a lively day. Saturday October 18 starting 12 Noon in Walnut Park. #NoKings #Petaluma #SonomaCounty

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

The Late Show with Steven Colbert has posted a message from the frog resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5z...

Frog emoji no longer immediately evokes a cringe. Now sometimes it's a happy signal! Hurray for reclaiming frogs.
