Joined in with about 30,000 other people to march in San Francisco today for No Kings Day. There were young people and seniors joining together to fight for our democracy. Proud of my son to hold up the Peruvian flag to honor his heritage and the Peruvian people who have immigrated to the U.S.

Today I protested at the Colma Tesla dealership about this administrations disastrous cuts to USAID.
A Boston University study found those cuts to USAID have contributed to over 300,000 deaths
Contact your representatives, show up to their town halls and demand justice.

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

This train ride from San Francisco to D.C. has been exactly what I needed — a journey to share the call to save our public lands with everyone I’ve met. As the train’s horn echoes through the darkness, I hope its sound carries all the way to Washington.
This ranger is coming, and I’m not afraid.

Please join me at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall, March 15th at noon. I’ll be there, holding my old felt ranger hat, standing up for our public lands and the people who dedicate their lives to protecting them.
If you can’t make it to DC, visit the closest public land near you.

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
