Former president Donald Trump called for protests Saturday in response to what he claimed would be his imminent arrest in a Manhattan criminal investigation, even as his advisers said Trump’s team does not have specific knowledge about the timing of any indictment. Writing from his Mara-Lago Club in Florida, Trump surprised his advisers by posting an allcaps message on his Truth Social platform Saturday morning that declared he “WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
FAIRFIELD — Visitors got a special treat Saturday at Rush Ranch with a visit from author Rue Mapp, who recently published her book “Nature Swagger: Stories and Visions of Black Joy in the Outdoors,” which examines the Black joy in nature. Mapp answered questions and read from her book as part of the program. The Oakland native grew up with a family that loved nature. Her father built a ranch in Lake County, about 2½ hours north of the Oakland, that became a family retreat.

About 30 people came out with good hiking shoes and a willingness to listen and learn about the cattle on the property. Cattle and cows have their own body language,

Her experiences in nature instilled a lifelong love of everything outdoors. Mapp launched a blog in 2009, Outdoor Afro, which soon grew into a nonprofit organization with networks in 30 states and more than 40,000 participants. The organization has expeditions that travel the globe helping to bring people to nature in a friendly and fun way. It helps to promote Black involvement and interaction with the outdoors. “Some people have never experienced nature and some of these people are afraid,” she said. “What we do is help set people

“There is something healing when you spend time outside,” she said. Mapp said she hopes her business helps people realize nature is as much in the cities as it is out See Mapp, Page A9
