To add to last night’s blue rout, Santa Clara County in California passed Measure A, upping our sales tax a bit to keep our hospitals going. No one likes paying more sales tax, but 57% of the voters understood that hospitals are a must!

Can anyone suggest a music service other than Spotify? One that isn’t complicit with the orange felon?Heartsick over hearing that they’re advertising ICE.

We received notice from our resistance group that the feds and ICE are heading to the San Francisco Bay Area. Be on the lookout. There is an ICE Out of the Bay on 10/23 at San José City Hall, Thursday at 5 pm, for anyone interested.

No Kings Day in San Jose. A few thousand here in St James park, and we just started fifteen minutes ago.

No crowns for clowns!

No Kings Day, Santa Cruz: even the dogs are done with fascism!

As I understand it, the NATO escalator contains a filtering device which automatically stopped because the orange felon family does not meet rapture standards.

Just found out that belief in the rapture cannot be cured by Tylenol. Sad.

Having deleted the Disney and Hulu apps, now I notice that when I get notices from Door Dash, they’re tying in Disney stuff. I use DD maybe twice a year when we are desperate for dinner to just arrive. I used to look at this extravagance as, well at least dashers earn a bit. With Disney, cancel?

We just watched Sunday Best, a documentary on how Ed Sullivan stood up to racism and how his revolutionary show showcased many musicians of color despite corporate pressures not to. We grew up watching his show, but the contextual background info was new to us. Recommended!

I finally read E. Jean Carroll’s “Not My Type”, and I highly recommend it. By turns maddening, hopeful and hilarious, her writing brims with such compelling imagery as she recounts her two suits against the Orange Horror—I broke out in laughter so many times that I startled our napping cats 😉

Just downloaded ICEblock and reported 2 masked ICE types approaching a repair place, then reported them to SJPD, who at our recent 5051 protest made ICE leave. SJ is 40% minority of color, and I’m nowhere near done speaking out.

Racial harassment has no place in Catholic schools: The Principal of the Madeleine School in Portland, OR recently called the police on a Black family and expelled their son for seeking an apology. Let's support this family and demand accountability. act.faithfulamerica.org/petition/fir...

Non-Ladybird books have always had a bit of a raw deal in my house.
That ends now.

RIP Virginia Giuffre, who testified fearlessly against Jeffrey Epstein, and spoke out against sexual trafficking and abuse. 💗
