One of today's highlights was a wonderful, gentle hike with lots of mushrooms and moss.
First time playing with gauche.

Screenprinted poster on offwhite background with some black and some red text reading, from top to bottom: "March 1st 2025 1-5 PM. Sacramento Valley Tenants Union Public Launch. Community Defense Through Our Shared Struggles. Join us for a cross-movement dialogue about how we defend our neighborhoods against fascism and kick off the Sacramento Valley Tenants Union as a member-funded union. DJ/Food/Art Build. 400 16th Street Sac 95814." Red and black and images on poster are an illustration of people carrying a house on their backs and a rocket launching up. There is also an illustration of a crowd at the bottom of the poster with a fist and star in the middle of the parted crowd.
Join SVTU for the public launch of our member-funded union with music, food, art, and a conversation between local orgs (Sac Punks with Lunch, @norcalresist.bsky.social, trans/queer affinity group, more TBA) about how we collectively defend our most vulnerable neighbors from the fascist onslaught.
If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.
Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴
If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.
If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente. Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias. Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país. Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos. Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado. Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.
Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.
Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.
BREAKING: We're suing to stop the Trump administration’s attempt to massively expand fast-tracked deportations without due process.
This policy was illegal when Trump enacted it in his first term and it’s illegal now.
