It's been wonderful - & heartbreaking - to meet so many lovely Altadena and N. Pasadena folks who've been affected by the Eaton fire. Thank you for sharing with a bear...

Also, thanks to folks who were out to help - LA Co. Public Health, Red Cross, Army Corps of Eng., CA Nat'l Guard, and more.
Met this Bear while protesting to save the wildlands of Chaney Trail last autumn. The trail was incinerated last month. But its chaparral will grow again. And the Bear, like its native wildland, is standing strong. Thank you, dear friend Bear. #DenaStrong

One of the most TRUE signs I have ever seen at a march. Write this down and act upon it, friends.

Holy cow, that hung on for too long! So good to hear you're finally feeling like yourself again. Take good care of both of you!
My mom and I walked up to Colorado Blvd to join the fun in Pasadena! What a great crowd (including the nice folks who took this photo and sent it to mom)! Loved seeing other folks in inflatable costumes! Solidarity with the Cenozoic 🐸🐸🐸 ✊!

“Relatives of a Trinidadian man who say he was killed in a U.S. military strike on a boat in the Caribbean this week are demanding evidence to back up allegations by U.S. President Donald Trump that those who died were trafficking drugs.“

One thing that really struck me today is the way folks are leaning WAY into freedom of expression & in all its weirdness. It makes visible something I’ve been feeling for a while—that the more repression I see, the more resilient & defiant I become. Seeing that at scale makes me certain we’ll win.
Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

I sincerely hope she’s okay & files a huge lawsuit…this is why cops are legitimately reviled.

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

#fossilfriday One of my favorite recent discoveries - the youngest record of the early ~7 myo 'dwarf' fur seal Pithanotaria starri, from the Purisima Formation of northern CA - only 90-100 cm long as an ADULT! I'll be presenting on this little cutie at SVP next month in the UK! #2025SVP 🦖🐬
