Protest in St. James Park for International Women's Day and against Musk/Trump. A beautiful gathering of families, kids, workers, youth and elders coming together in unity.
The last two speakers were a young trans man and a Ukrainian refugee. Now one of our local elected leaders, County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg, is speaking about the County's efforts to defend immigrants and protect healthcare in our community, and standing up for reproductive rights, trans rights, and public education.

#Mudslides, 126-mph winds and feet of snow pummel #California amid #AtmosphericRiver
The biggest storm so far this winter blasted California with #flooding #downpours, #hurricane-force winds and feet of #snow in the mountains. Some of the worst damage occurred near the #BurnScars from January's deadly #fires.

"Mudslides, flooding downpours and feet of mountain snow were unleashed across California as the biggest storm so far this winter hit the state, including areas devastated by deadly #wildfires in January.
"Evacuations were ordered and roads were shut down near the burn scars of the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire due to the risk of mudslides, flash flooding and debris flows, including a stretch of the #PacificCoastHighway between #Malibu and #SantaMonica.
"A person with the Los Angeles Fire Department was swept away in a vehicle amid the flooding but managed to escape with only minor injuries, according to The Associated Press.
"Bulldozers were needed to clear feet of mud, rock and debris from some roads as the heavy rain ran off the charred mountainsides.
"'Over 10 inches of rain fell in some areas, including 10.87 at Manchester, on the coast west of #Sacramento, and 9.89 inches at Mining Ridge, 90 miles south of #SanJose,' AccuWeather Meteorologist and Digital Producer Jesse Ferrell said.
"Rain even fell in California's #DeathValley National Park, with 0.18 of an inch falling in the hottest place in North America. In an entire year, the remote park typically measures 2.20 inches of rain."

I've learned a lot about extremely-long-range landscape photography in the last two years so seems time to update the Yosemite From Mount Hamilton panorama. Imaged at 830nm near-infrared with a D=51mm f/5 telescope, resampled to ~10m/px at Half Dome.

Last year, the private health care company HCA announced it was going to stop providing essential emergency, trauma, and stroke care at the only hospital in San Jose's East Side, a largely working-class, Latinx and Asian community, At the same time, HCA planned to invest millions in its hospital on the wealthy west side of town.
So - the community mobilized, and the County of Santa Clara bought the hospital!
It will now become part of our county's public health system, restore the trauma, stroke, and cardiac services that HCA closed, and be open to all.
Another form of inhumane #homeless #unhoused sweep in #SanJose.
The city is towing away (to where?) 960 lived-in vehicles, but are only “planning” to open a safe-parking lot for 85 vehicles. Where do the rest go, Mayor Mahan? Do they just disappear?
The unhoused crisis in the #sfba is not caused by encampments or lived-in vehicles; they are merely the symptoms of the problem. Show me action that deals with the housing affordability crisis that’s at the heart of this problem.
There are more than a few lived-in RVs around my neighborhood. Do I want them removed? Hell no, unless you’re also giving them a place to live. Those people are my neighbors.
“San Jose is towing oversized vehicles from these 30 locations”

Can anyone in #SanJose recommend a place I can get my dad's Subaru Forester worked on? I'll be scheduling the work over the phone from Pennsylvania and trying to coordinate having my sister drop it off, so reliability and communication are key.
Dystopian California in which counties are simply bussing homeless people around instead of building more housing or providing actual services. The very definition of sweeping problems under rugs, except there isn't even the pretense of a rug
