Marin County (my home) is one of the wealthiest in the USA. Despite spending 10s of millions of dollars every year on the homeless, the # of unhoused neighbors doesn’t change. Please sign my petition asking our Supervisors to build a tiny-home village.

Many people say that Donald Trump first consummated his relationship with Melania on Epstein’s jet. What’s not known is whether it was a three-way with Epstein, and if Melania was exploited & trafficked by him until she aged out.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Fuck this illegal rendition BS!
28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say.

From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:
Migrant deported to El Salvador after DPS labeled him a member of Tren de Aragua without evidence, lawyer says
Lawyers for Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo deny he is a gang member and say the DPS accusation hinges on a photo they found of him standing next to a man with tattoos.

Science over dogma.
The best politicians are scientifically strong public health leaders, because everything is connected to health

This sweet little German shepherd mix was picked up as a stray in Bakersfield. She & her 6 little 6 day old girls (all girls!) were to be put to sleep today. We couldn’t let it happen, so we’re now fostering for the first time.

We’ve been given naming rights. Any suggestions for mama & her girls?

Trump has let Musk kill more Africans than Idi Amin.
Trump and Musk’s DOGE cuts to USAID and other aid programmes have increased violence, death, rape trafficking, and mass starvation of children.

“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country.
