Think globally act locally.

I don't like door knocking with the Washoe County Democrats, because just like the Plumas and Sierra County Dems they only knock Democrat doors.

Tent ain't been big enough for me.

It's striking to me that a lot of people want politics to be about their personal feelings, in which case they're not engaged in politics, though they may be engaged in the sabotage of politics. This ...

Great story on SFGate.

Discusses Henry George. I learned about him, even his San Franciscism, in the first lecture on public finance in the grad program at the London School of Economics.

New Zealand applies (and recognizes) Georgian economics.

Sugar Bowl applies Georgian principles, has KiwiCEO
I got a bit obsessed with the street art on Clement.

I wanted to figure out who kept painting over it with the worst shade of gray—only to figure out that you and I are the ones paying to paint it over.

Thank you Yurok people for leading us back to the land. The Washoe country is fortunate to have you the neighborhood.

Way we all join together to care for this sacred land.

I look forward to hearing how you exercise your natural sovereignty over the forests carbon in your great land.
A stunning wildflower show is happening right now along the newly freed segment of the Klamath River, where native fish and wildlife populations are beginning to rebound in response to the recent removal of four dams.

While we build a forests-restoration response, on a foundation of indigenous sovereignty over forests carbon (it works here in California and can anywhere), we remember that it is one struggle.

Mining is always everywhere dubious. The ocean, where it all starts and ends, must be defended.

Merci
@letemps.ch hope you report on Allseas and The Metal Company and their illegal plan for deep-sea mining with the Trump administration! Thanks to Camille Etienne for sharing on instagram (original post www.instagram.com/p/DJCoUHNs8J...)

Thank you @yuroktribe.bsky.social friends and neighbors.

This victory of the Yurok people is for us all.

May we in the Washoe lands and elsewhere take heart and carry on.
