Went to an Indigenous event yesterday in San Francisco where they built a fire with volcanic rocks to make acorn mush. The guy doing it said it’s important to get these round, tumbled rocks and they usually come from east of the Sierras. They ran a very inclusive event yesterday where different Indigenous groups came and asked the Yelamu people for permission to come ashore (into the Bay). Everyone shared their songs and stories. I learned a lot.

In response to #California / #GavinNewsom suit, #Trump admin argues it has no obligation to consult with or get consent of the #governor before sending in #NationalGuard #troops or #Marines.

The Trump admin defends sending ~5,000 troops to LA: "The statute empowers the President to determine what forces 'he considers necessary' to 'suppress' a 'rebellion' or to 'execute' federal 'laws'—not the Governor, & not a federal court."
Earthquake scientists are learning warning signs of the "big one." When should they tell the public?
From NBC News: "For U.S. seismologists, Japan’s 'megaquake' warning last week renewed discussion about when and how to warn people on the West Coast if they find elevated risk of a major earthquake."

Are Elon Musk’s toxic antics alienating Tesla’s key buyers? While Tesla is arguably still the go-to electric vehicle brand worldwide, in California, the largest car market in the U.S., registration of Tesla vehicles has reportedly dropped by a massive 24 percent between April and June — the third straight quarter that sales have fallen in the state. Futurism has more.

Woke up near Mt Shasta.
I fell asleep in the dining car / observation lounge of the Coast Starlight. It was vastly superior to trying to lie flat across three seats on a plane in economy class, in the rare chance there were three seats open that you could move to.
As someone from a tiny country: we’re still in California?!
The vibrant wildflowers of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, with tall lupines standing out against a backdrop of golden and purple blooms. The distant mountains add depth to the scene. As autumn approaches, the colors begin to fade, marking the transition from summer's bright hues to the softer tones of the coming season.

A 28-yo #pregnant #woman set to give birth as early as next week is speaking out about being detained by #immigration authorities in #California, even after telling agents she was a #UScitizen.
Cary López Alvarado lost her balance as agents "shoved her" during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC #LosAngeles from a #hospital bed. “That’s when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach.”

“"Paper or plastic" will no longer be a choice at grocery store checkout lines in #California under a new law signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin #Newsom that bans all plastic shopping bags.
California had already banned thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores, but shoppers could purchase bags made with a thicker plastic that purportedly made them reusable and recyclable.”

The Pirate Tower at Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach, California, stands against rugged cliffs in the soft glow of sunset. Its weathered stone base and conical roof evoke a fairy-tale feel. Greenery clings to the cliffs, contrasting with the smooth sand and gentle waves below. The warm, golden sky adds to the tower's mystery and charm.
