TODAY: News Roundup from the Justice Frontlines: Tar Sands, Coal Slurry and Mangroves exploding; look out tomorrow 1 pm MT for some Immigrant rights news!

Just got back from an amazing & refreshing weekend at the National Women's Studies Association Conference in Denver, CO. Denver reminds me of Portland. Apparently it snowed right after I got out on a place to sunny SoCal. Land of old-like-new car care. Watched La Mission on Netflix this weekend. Cried and sniffled through at least half of it. Missing my folks in the Bay and loving the new lives and landscapes we-all bring into being together.
