Hard to pick a favorite image from our biggest day on Kjölur. Just shy of 50 kilometers. A lot of it on good riding trails with fast tölters. So much wind! But no rain since the first day and lots of glaciers.

Today’s beautiful thing. Our home for the night: Grímsstaðir. First day of the Snæfellsness tour in the books. I rode Birna and Skörungur, both beautiful tölters.

These are not strays. Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

What would be funny, if it were not about forever damaged little girls, is the idea that there is anyone in the entire universe who doesn’t already know who is on that list.

Today’s beautiful thing. 4:43 am our out window in Achill Island, County Mayo. No sleep after news of the big murderous bill. But the beauty is right out the window here and everywhere reminding me to see it. Also, who knew there were palm trees in Ireland?

It’s hard, on a day like today, to even write the words “beautiful thing.” And yet there is the world’s beauty, showing up, as it always does, along with the sorrow. James Baldwin taught me that even in grief, I have to keep loving it, because if I don’t, all that will be left of me is fear.

Over the past 13 years, DACA has allowed people to contribute fully to New Mexico. The hostility toward immigrants coming from this administration puts DACA at risk and tears families apart. I will do everything I can to protect DACA recipients and keep our communities whole.

I can't stop thinking about those Mike Lee posts and his lack of apology or anything resembling contrition. Just unbearably cruel and twisted. I don't have anything insightful to say, just despair and heartbreak and anger.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Over 4.8 million and counting and many events haven’t even kicked off yet. We’re aiming for over 10 million today to hit the 3.5% rule. The crowds are massive and still growing. We are so proud of all of you. Huge shoutout to Texas you showed up!

Minnesota friends, in our grief and fear, my request is that if we learn that the suspected shooter is apprehended, we share immediately and widely in all of our social media and personal networks. If possible, it would be so good for folks to feel safe(r) going out to protest today!

Today’s beautiful thing. Ben saw me watering and came over to ask for a spray down. Also, I am as crushed and lost in regards to the horror we are witnessing as all of you. One thing I can do is hold on to beauty and love my animals and my people, none of whom would wish cruelty on anyone.

Today’s beautiful thing. The hate and violence directed at women’s bodies, Black bodies, Native bodies, Brown bodies, and Queer bodies is so large, so ugly, so incessant. But it is not as large as this mountain. And unlike this mountain, it is hollow at its center and hates itself most of all.
