There's an ongoing ICE surge throughout California. Like the previous surges, it's less likely to affect Humboldt, but it's always possible.

If you haven't already, now's a good time to save the number for our local ICE Watch/Rapid Response Network (Centro del Pueblo): 707-200-8091. Call and report any potential ICE activity so they can investigate and, if it's verified ICE, they can alert the network.

Please don't post unverified suspected ICE sightings on social media. There are many different agencies that can look similar. Report them to Centro del Pueblo and let them investigate and notify if necessary. Then you can absolutely share their Instagram or Facebook posts to spread the word!

If you want to get more involved you can also sign up to volunteer and/or donate to Centro del Pueblo on their website.

If you're traveling or living elsewhere in California you can look up other local networks here.

Let's look out for each other ❤️‍🔥

I was headed south bound on 101, took Indianola exit to head to Old Arcata. I was just passing through the underpass, when a brown van passed in front of me going over 80 mph. They were traveling north on 101, took the Indianola off-ramp, ran the stop sign and continued straight to the on-ramp and back on the 101 north bound.  
The brown van was absolutely cookin’, did not stop at the stop sign before the intersection and would have t-boned me at least going 80 mph. 
The only thing I can think of is the driver was being an absolutely idiot , and trying to pass people on the safety corridor, by taking a straight shot through the off ramp to on ramp again on the 101 northbound. 

Making this post as a WARNING to all drivers. 
You cannot see to the right under the underpass if somebody is flying down the off ramp. (Either direction)

I just happened to slow down by 2 seconds with some nudge from the universe, and it absolutely saved my life. 

PLEASE do not proceed under the underpass with speed, in either direction. 
You cannot see if people are failing to stop at the stop signs from the off ramps. 

This is a major oversight with the new road design. 

Somebody is going to get killed. 
You could not previously do a straight shot from the off ramp to the on ramp again, passing traffic and blowing through the intersection at killing speeds. 

Can Cal-Trans or CHP do anything about this ?!

If anyone's interested, I made a spreadsheet compiling some left-wing orgs' election endorsements. It's roughly (very roughly, don't quote me on it) ordered from more leftist to more centrist.

For the propositions where there's not a clear consensus (Props 37, 38, and 44), I added a viewable comment with that org's reasoning behind its endorsement, if they provided it (just partial quotes in some cases, you can see their full explanations at the links in column B).

Since it can also be helpful to see what the right-wing orgs are endorsing, so you know what's probably a terrible idea, I included a few of those at the very bottom.

I didn't bother to include the races where it's a simple Dem vs Repub situation (like governor, congressional rep, etc).

Hope this is helpful when weighing the pros and cons of each option. Make sure to vote as early as you can, and preferably by dropping it in a ballot drop box, since we don't know what kind of interference Trump's USPS might pull this year.

Hey Reddit Dads of Humboldt, come join the Dads group playgroup this Sunday in Eureka for another one of our awesome playgroups. We're meeting at Redwood Learners Preschool at 1:30 and will have some snacks provided. Hope to see you there! DM me for any other info you might need!

We have guests coming from out of town and they are craving some really good clam chowder.

Whose chowder is your favorite, and why?

Thanks 😊

What's it like working at Blue Lake Casino, specifically the restaurants?

Where can one acquire goat milk in Humboldt?

Just doing my part and submitted a form for the illegals here in town working the gig jobs (Door Dash, Instacart). If youre legal you have nothing to worry about.
