It’s two days before Christmas, which makes it a great day for a No Kings ride around town here in San Jose.
We The People have just about made it through 2025, a year of enormous damage but also renewed hope. Do you still have your #NoKings signs, hats, shirts, spirit? Please share!

You know, just spending a relaxing Saturday as one does, chilling with cats, sipping a cup of coffee, and taking note of Donald Trump's name on Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs in March 1993, May 1994, & August 1995.

The 4 volumes of Epstein files that were released today by DOJ amount to a total of 2.997 GB.
So, in light of the FBI memo over the summer stating that there is "more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence," that leaves at least 297.003 GB still being hidden.

Amidst so much chaos everywhere, I felt privileged and happy to have joined the Honolulu Marathon today. 31 years ago, after having disc surgery and giving up running, I never thought I would be among the 42,000 participants who ran, walked, and (like me) shuffled and staggered 26.2 miles

Greg Bovino’s the star of Trump’s deportation show. We trace his roots.
As a boy, the Hollywood movie “The Border" set the course for his life. He couldn’t believe the Border Patrol agents in the movie were the bad guys. Now that he’s in charge of deportation efforts caus...

This Christmas, downsizing is patriotic. Instead of 37 dolls for your daughter, as Dear Leader said at his rally a few days ago, "2 or 3 is nice."

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

After more than 40 years of riding bicycles, it’s an unsettling thrill and pleasure to learn how to balance again. Riding this #halfbike, which steers from the rear with its skateboard-like truck, I’ve slowly grown in confidence, even though it still throws me sometimes. Wanna try?
