Proud of Pasadena and our peaceful resistance. Here's to an Anti-fascist summer. No Kings. No Wars. Peace, prosperity and justice for all.

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t.

When feds checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn’t expect 100s of protesters and a day laborers’ band, the tactic that kicked them out is spreading.

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t

When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

True.
Plus, there are 4 edits in this entire dance.
Not because Kelly didn’t do the dance in one take, but cause the camera couldn’t move fast enough to get to the right shot. And the camera is friggin dancing.

Good Sunday! The world is beautiful. Look who joined me on my bike ride. #MyDayinLA

A beautiful brown and white hawk looks back. The hawk is perched on a metal sign like it’s a tree limb. The sky behind is a clear blue. This hawk is searching for food and looks pretty darn magnificent.

Whew, I finished “When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanithi this morning. The writing is exquisite and I cried. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... - was published in 2016 after he passed away. If you appreciate memoirs, I think you'll appreciate this one.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Idk who needs to hear this, but…

Citizens of the United States of America loudly and proudly protesting against the unconstitutional installment of a King is as patriotic and American as it gets.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

People are not pawns. The latest CDC layoffs are another example of this Administration going after our health—this time by firing scientists working to prevent chronic & respiratory disease.

I’m working to reopen the gvt, reverse these reckless cuts, & fund health care.
