❤️ my East Bay & U.S. enough to believe it can do better & share its best w/ all.

Those reduced to insults probably don't have btr arguments.
No Starter Packs pls! I'm content to gain just a few followers at a time
Troops were sent to D.C. over the summer as a stunt — at best — by Republican governors wanting to make Trump happy. They have been on litter patrols... these National Guard troops have been put in the position of quite literally being the faces of Trump’s authoritarianism."

Started as a goof.
We'd heard some places treat veterans to a free mea & began searching them out.
Idk when it shifted, maybe @ Applebees? Looking across the dining rm it was easy to see who the vets were, but it was also surprising: they weren't all old, not all men, even a few w/friends, family/1

This response to HamletMachine has me playing Stalin, disciples of Gurdjieff & Frank Lloyd Wright, Ramesh Balsekar, Aldous Huxley, Marcel Proust, Hamlet & Raskolnikov -all supporting roles to the women whose narratives drive our story.

Oh & it's dance/theater

C'mon By!
Embarcadero in Oakland, big crowd facing off with the Invaders. The whole intersection in front of Coast Guard Island is blocked off by we who dissent to this govt overreach & illegal deployment on U.S. soil.

If you drive we can block even more streets -they ain't going nowhere!

Big surprise!

They painted the curb & the guy sz when I send in my challenge, they'll verify it's no longer a red zone. 🤞

I'm usually a little put out when I get notification of another account blocking me, esp when I'm unaware of any interaction w them...

But while I'll never know what Comrade Meow is about, I can live w that.

Love that building! And the mural across the street on Broadway

All of that sounds good -now how do we get riders on them?

I envision marketing campaigns like this to inspire people

Not what I want. I'll fight for clean air. And I'll be sad, knowing that for a brief time things were getting better.

But if I gotta watch it, this will be a good a place as any...
