3000 people took to the streets in #Boulder yesterday. It was loud, it was creative and finally, finally the students are out in force. We need them in this fight for their future.

My 2026 version is one I admired in a shop in New Zealand and was delighted to see appear in my Christmas stocking last year.

Interesting piece but it had no mention of the fact that US citizens living overseas are required to file Federal tax returns. No taxation without representationβ¦ shouldnβt that stop the argument right there??

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
Wildlife sightings on this morningβs bike ride:
2 raccoons playing in a culvert
1 very dead skunk
1 small pile of bear scat (all I need to see of a bear)
1 rattlesnake curled on the road (no desire to check if it was alive or dead)
4 wild turkeys
Too many prairie dogs to count

No idea what the story line will be but Awake comes to mindβ¦ Love the previous personβs suggest of Adrift too!
Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer.
That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG π©π©π© that authoritarianism isnβt *coming* itβs ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.
I saw a freight train go by today, and all I could think was, Americaβs rolling stock is a laughing stockβ¦

We are a nation under duress. People are being taken from their homes, from grocery stores, from safe places. People with no prior criminal history. People who have active cases for citizenship or asylum.
Just requested my library purchase it!

I discovered Team Caches yesterday in downtown Issaquah. Despite roping in a random stranger, we were unable to get it to work. Next time weβll bring an entire posse! Love the concept though.
