San Francisco: impossible to get the scope in photos but thousands because it was a gathering not a parade. Waiting for the drone shots. Tesla showroom demo going on for the 8th week at same time. Lots of flowing back & forth.

Right now, Tesla showroom, Van Ness and O’Farrell, San Francisco. Not too many customers.

Former NFL Kicker Arrested At City Council Meeting After Slamming 'Nazi' MAGA Movement Now that's resistance.

This is resistance.

Will take one more look — may be more but they’re cut off. I used free version of ChatGPT to pose series of questions, i.e. protests in red states; more protests in red states; protests in all states etc. I didn’t then click on all links as sources seem credible. Helpful?

Another four

Here is another list

It will take a while but here’s a start

Is this not about Trump wanting people to drive past his Tower especially now that he’s king?

Go. You’ll feel better. Go with your neighbor as we did yesterday. Meet a friend there. Go. Please. You’ll feel better. 3/4

It took over a decade to end the Vietnam War. Many people never gave up and it took the broadest coalition imaginable for troops to be withdrawn, many of those troops leading the movement. There are many unexpected leaders already, many groups, many people with the impetus to demonstrate. 2/4

For those who think demonstrations against Trump, Musk, and collaborators are only going on in places like San Francisco: There have been protests in every one of the 50 US states, which obviously includes every single red state. Every single state. If you want sources, I’m happy to post. 1/4

Let's name it now: MUSKGATE.

Baking Friday, marching Saturday

Why is your company named Global Tetrahedron? Are you Bucky Fuller-philes?

If any thing, they've unlearned. And the richer their owners get, the less legitimate reporting is making the front page--or any page. Critical thinking? Oh pshaw.

This quote is from MLK, as you probably know. I used it as the intro to an essay about precisely this very thing happening to me.

Need I say that this post is in reference to the new "Department of Government Efficiency," which is not in fact a department and promises to be highly inefficient and ineffective? (Can't wait for the editing function to show up here.)

Once again, FTR, there was a genuine effort in the Clinton administration called Reinventing Government and led by Al Gore that actually did this. Successfully. And with a great organizational design process.

And I'm looking forward to your explanation. Another great line, this from The Daily Show: "The Department of Justice isn't within 100 feet of a school, is it?"

Looking forward to learning how appointing an accused child-sex-trafficker as AG and a suspected Russian asset as DNI will lower the price of eggs

A LONG PRAYER FOR NEW ZEALAND This essay first appeared in Nowhere Magazine and placed as finalist in its 2016 FALL TRAVEL WRITING CONTEST.

There is so much that is good about New Zealand except perhaps that it’s being bought up by billionaires. Here’s one of my takes: jessicalipnack.medium.com/a-long-praye...

The fun never ends. Keep up the good work, CR!

A few days before the election, I spotted my choice for San Francisco mayor, took a photo, and posted to FB. Guess what? It didn’t even post to my feed never mind get any likes or hates. (And FTR, I loved your memoir, ANCESTOR TROUBLE, in case anyone missed it.)

I have been thinking about David and Asheville since the deluge. Always ahead of the curve, that one. Love to you both.
