2025 SUCKED. But it was also the year I learned, protested, recovered from illness, stood in solidarity with folks in the Coachella Valley and Portland, Oregon, and felt/received love and joy. Happy New Year, and ONWARD! #Solidarity
A few photos from 2025, a very hard year for those of us with caring hearts:
Today is #HumanRightsDay, and I am painfully aware how many of my fellow and sister US citizens, and even more refugees and immigrants (w/ or w/out docs) in the US, lack full #humanrights. This must change. #HumanRights for all!

Geologist Dr. Jim Rine presents a slideshow on #Climate and #Militarism at the Veterans Building in San Francisco Oct. 10 as part of a panel including speaker from Scientists Rebellion, hosted by @veteransforpeace.bsky.social Chapter 69. #militarismfuelsclimatecrisis
Word is getting out that #militarismfuelsclimatecrisis, thanks to @veteransforpeace.bsky.social "Wake Up to Climate Crisis" Tour, which includes showings of the new documentary, "Earth's Greatest Enemy." Photo from Pacific Grove, CA, Oct 6:
Happening TODAY - No MAS - No military airshows! #militarismfuelsclimatecrisis
#LaborDay action for #immigrantrights and #humanrights! #portlandoregon #migrantdefense #ICEout
My photos from the July 17, 2025 #goodtrouble march in #portlandoregon. #immigrantrights are #humanrights. We marched to the locked gates of the #ICE facility and left flowers in memory of those who've died in ICE custody.
What I learned from studying the Holocaust: if you wait, it's too late. So... what are WE waiting for? The time for massive, sustained, militant action including #directaction is NOW. #EndGazaGenocide (among other projects)
Every demographic in the United States is against #war on #Iran. Because, y'know, we remember #Iraq. And some other things. #NoWarOnIran
This is where I will be tomorrow evening. Where will you be? #nowaroniran #peace
I know it was not radical, I know it was bankrolled by organizations I don't care for, I know marching with yr buddies isn't serious political work. Still, I enjoyed #NoKings and here are a few more photos, just because. #peace #climatejustice #humanrights
#RejectAIPAC. I consider this #3 on my list of "What Must Be Done." I mean, there's a lot, but AIPAC is so consequential, so powerful, so insidious, so under-regarded by most people.
#StopArmingIsrael, a dangerous, lethal (even to its own people), apartheid nation-state, that's how!
This is my question to "my" member of #Congress, Congressman Raul Ruiz, (D- 25). Never got a chance to ask it (I submitted it in advance, too). I am not stopping, but I AM pretty fried from watching a livestreamed #genocide for over 1.5 YEARS, and still ongoing. #EndGazaGenocide
#PalestineSolidarity is alive and well in the #Coachella Valley. Looking forward to tonight's vigil for #CEASEFIRE & #EndGazaGenocide in downtown #PalmSprings. Always interesting conversations.
So proud and happy to be standing up with these people! #CoachellaValley - not just concerts & golf courses - #activism!
Congressman and former medical doctor and good liberal #Democrat Raul Ruiz had his town hall in Indio, CA disrupted by a brave young woman who called his out for his silence on the destruction by #Israel of the entire medical infrastructure in #Gaza. & where is #DrHussamAbuSafiya? #StopArmingIsrael
Photographed by me at the #LosAngeles rally against All Things Trump/Musk and for #justice, on January 20, 2025.
