An e-card that reads, "People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups."
Happy tyrant assassination day!

The trail above the Sutro Baths ruins at San Francisco’s dramatic Land’s End. Instead of looking at the ruins and surrounding crashing surf, this is the land above. Returns through native chaparral bushes up to tall Monterrey pines. Urban nature. Love this city.

ICE OUT … solidarity forever. A statement from small independent BareBottle Brewing in San Francisco about staying open and donating 10% to the ACLU today.
Proud of my local brewery here in SF.
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.
" Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..."
