I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS HUMBOLDT” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/peoplefordem...
NO KINGS HUMBOLDT · People for Democracy
HUMBOLDT!!! Let's ALL come together for a HUGE showing On June 14, gather at the bottom of C Street on the Madaket Square by the Waterfront in Old Town Eureka for a brief RALLY beginning at 11AM after which we will MARCH through Old Town to the Courthouse where we will join in with the PROTEST scheduled from 12-2pm. **In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.** NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. 🚨**On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.**🚨 The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it. **On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.** HUMBOLDT!!! Make this an Enormous & Peaceful Day. Be part of a broad-based national action day. --->Find us at the bottom of C Street on the Madaket Square by the Waterfront in Old Town for a brief RALLY beginning at 11AM after which we will MARCH through Old Town to the Courthouse where we will join in with the ongoing protest from 12-2pm.<--- Check out nokings.org for more information. *A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*

OK, so naked running.

Apparently this means running without GPS, music and any other tech.

I wish I knew this an hour ago.

WTF? Ambitious young people do not even deserve a human reader? Of course many probably used AI to write their essays. Higher ed is so f*d up right now. I am so done.

The ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ Author Wants Us to Give Thanks Every Day
The world is a gift, not a giant Amazon warehouse, Robin Wall Kimmerer said. In her new book, “The Serviceberry,” she proposes gratitude as an antidote to prevailing views of nature as a commodity.

Why would I possibly follow back someone who refers to women as "beautiful creatures"? I need to add FEMINIST to my profile stat.

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.
