By Maria Erickson, Carl Enson, Bennett Barthelemy, Peggy La Cerra, Robell Bassett I am so glad people get out and enjoy nature- hiking on a trail, visiting a beautiful park, or swimming in the ocean after sunbathing on a warm, sandy beach. I never understood those who bring a loud boom box along. I would think that defeats the whole purpose. People nearby who came for peace and quiet are forced to move away just to enjoy their surroundings.

Photo by a Rapid Response Network volunteer on June 10, 2025 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers raid an agricultural operation on the Oxnard Plain on June 10, 2025. The photo was taken by a Rapid Response Network volunteer and given to the Ventura County Farm Bureau, which issued a press release, expressing the Farm Bureau's concerns about it. Are we there yet? Who shows up? 10(?) immigrants have been abducted in the Ojai Valley.

Bennett Barthelemy October 12, 2017 Seven hundred feet of exposure nip at my heels, high on the flanks of Veliki Kuk in Paklenica, Croatia. I’m pumped stupid on the wildly steep crux pitch of Watersong (5.10c), 10 feet up and several feet right of my last bolt, over-gripping a slippery limestone hueco. My pulsing blood thrums heavily in my throat and temples.
