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 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.

Time for this old ranger to dust off the flat hat and head to D.C. to protest. I’m calling on Alt National ParkService and #50501Movement to help organize this march. If it’s just me showing up, so be it. But I refuse to sit back and watch the destruction of our National Parks.

Returning home from a great day of protest! Young and old were there at the State Capitol to raise our voices against the tyranny.

Heading out on the California Zephyr to the state Capitol in Sacramento. Time to exercise my right to peacefully protest! This is not the time to sit on the sidelines!

My first Bluesky post! I found out this morning that Congressman Kevin Mullin paid tribute to my 35 years of public service on November 8,2024. It’s an honor I’ll never forget. The tribute is part of the Congressional Record, volume 170, Issue 165, page E1121. www.govinfo.gov/app/details/...
