If you are a Northern California person upset about Chuck Schumer’s @schumer.senate.gov β€˜s craven betrayal of our country, his book tour will be in Corte Madera at The Book Passage on 3/22

Thanks to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social for the alert, now we know where to visit him in NorCal too πŸ‘πŸΌ

Scheduled a dr. appointment and they said we have Monday available, assuming we don’t burn down the city.

I asked for the latest appointment just in case I needed to recover from burning down Philly
