Always for for the stormwater infrastructure that supports, clean, creeks and unflooded streets. My organization is doing that very thing in Fruitvale right now, working on a street that's been flooded for years installing rainwater harvesting and rain gardens.

This rough legged hawk has got to be the most photographed bird in Northern California right now.

Well, it's a surprise but this young Rough-legged Hawk decided to spend the winter here in the north bay of the SF Bay Area.

Today at Safeway, standing in line, I turned and smiled at the younger black woman behind me who said Happy Valentine’s Day. We agreed that it was especially important to celebrate right now with such hard times. Then she gave me a big hug. Reasons to be alive.

BREAKING: DHS waives dozens of laws to rush border wall construction through Big Bend State Park.

They want to rob this iconic western landscape from all of us, locking away our fishing holes & campsites behind concrete and steel. It's a grotesque act of political vandalism.

Fuck AI

Really!

They are not letting up. Keep all pressure on.

Shorebirds are my life here in the SF Bay Area. I live .5 miles from the Bay and go almost everyday with my dogs.

I know they are trying to open a facility in Dublin, CA. Don't see it here.

I love the reflection of the water seen on the main body.

Why does the press sit and listen to these lies day after day?

It is unbelievable how wrong AI is. Repeatedly and boring on top of it all. Yesterday I had to read 14 cover letters from UC Berkeley students to get in our mentorship program. Half of them were almost the same letter and boring as hell AI generated bullshit. We didn't take any of those students.

OMG, make it stop.

I truly believe that this rough-legged hawk photo needs more love.

Messing with the mid-term elections or canceling them altogether has always been the plan. Wake up, everyone. Please wake up!

I mean across the nation.

Yeah, oddly I don't know much about him. I'm usually much more involved in my local politics, but the last two years has really been a time.
