Retired microbiologist. No longer having a lab to play in, I do projects outdoors – nature photography, invasive plant removal, butterfly monitoring - mostly at the Claremont Colleges' Bernard Field Station and the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park.

Photos from the Claremont No Kings protest. Several thousand people came out in a town of 35,000. Lots of Inflated critter costumes in evidence.
Two protestors - one in an inflated orange unicorn costume and another with an American flag and a West African drum. A protestor in an inflated Tyrannosaurus rex costume with a sign that says, “T-REX is anti T-RUMP”. A protestor in an inflated pink shark costume. Two protestors shouting - one draped in an American flag and the other in an inflated bear costume holding a flag.

A few signs from today’s #HandsOff protest in Claremont, CA.
Protest sign that says, “They’re eating the guardrails! They’re eating the DEMOCRACY!” Protest sign that says, “Morons Are Governing America” Protest sign that says, “I so annoyed that I had to destroy a perfectly fine box to protest Civil Rights, Public Health, Free Speech, Environment, Education, Allies” Protest sign that says, “This sign is too small to enumerate all of my reasons to protest. RESIST TRUMP/MUSK”

Is anyone keeping a running list of all the people who've resigned from the Trump administration on principle?

There's Danielle Sassoon, Hagan Scotten, and 7? other lawyers at DOJ, Michelle King at SSA, 21 DOGE (USDS) employees, now Thomas Corry (HHS), and ...?

Today for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, I have been thinking about his writings, and this ending to the speech he gave to Memphis sanitation workers the day before he was assassinated somehow resonated with me.

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.
