Sailing my 15' West Wight Potter sailboat on the ocean is one of my greatest passions. Hiking & camping in the national parks is also a favorite way to spend the day.
A juvenile great white shark that followed us recently off Oceanside CA; estimated to be 7' long. It swam up to the rudder and left. They seem attracted to the rudder.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

I love riding the Sprinter train that runs between Escondiod & Oceanside. I took this picture recently from the train. There were other views that were even more spectacular but glare from lights and windows prevented a photo.

A little rough yesterday off Oceanside CA searching for whales. Over 8 hours on the water but didn't see any:( Some great sailing though.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

A woman trying to drive away is dead. There is no excuse for her murder. We’ve seen the videos with our own eyes.

The agent must be held accountable. Noem must resign, but she has no shame and won’t. I support impeachment of this administration’s most lawless and abusive official.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Democrats could block the yearly DHS funding bill from passing literally this year before the midterms, but they wont lol

ICE still has funds from the BBB but there's no reason Dems should vote for a dollar more of funding for the DHS.
The only way we protect ourselves from ICE is by winning the midterms.

Prosecute the former regime at every level.

ICE's murder of a young mom should be the final nail in this wicked gestapo's coffin. Disband ICE, investigate all agents.

Also: impeach & prosecute Trump—both for the cavalcade of illegal presidential actions, as well as the fact that he's a pedophile.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump.

And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine.

We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.
JUST IN: Trump says the U.S. will “run” Venezuela for now, until a “proper transition” can take place

A new federal rule would ban gender affirming care at virtually every hospital system in the country.

Now, an organization says they've prepared, have private clinics and financial aid ready for families that need them.

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill

flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
