Neither cold nor rain will keep us from defending democracy. #NoKings #Snohomish #EverettWA

Found my perfect coffee spot in the #TriCities today! #NovelCoffee #Richland Also, The Oliver is divine.

When you're sleepy but grandpa is eating a tuna sandwich right next to you...

She's finished!

More progress!

Making progress, slowly but surely

📣 CALLING VOLUNTEERS! 📣 Indivisible Tri-Cities is looking for community members to step up and help out at this Thursday’s Good Trouble protest – July 17th!

She's starting to take shape!

Trump’s Big Bad Bill passed this week- including work requirements for Medicaid enrollees. The requirements contain exemptions for the disabled- but whose definition of disabled? The same state that keeps denying benefits to Long COVID patients? www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid...

A gentle reminder to us all.

"It feels like we live at the end of the story but this isn't the end, it's the middle. And together we have to fight for a better end." @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social said that recently and it's a comfort and a reminder at all times, and perhaps especially today.

How do you motivate yourself to start/continue creative projects? When doing the creative thing isn't its own reward, how do you keep from abandoning it?

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇

I have lost all desire to keep crocheting and I don't know why or how to restart my focus for it. Anyone have suggestions? I have to finish my current WIP before July! 😬

Almost ready!

Into a low oven it goes!

As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Fried pickles from #HotMessBurgers in #tricitieswa are healing my soul. 🤤

Remember: You are ALWAYS closer to being homeless than to being a billionaire.

One of the proposed changes to Medicaid is instituting an 80 hr/month work requirement to qualify. They did this with SNAP qualification in VA, last year. THAT IS JUST SUBSIDIZING LOW-PAYING EMPLOYERS. Repubs clearly deem those of us working fewer hours due to disability or age to be expendable.

This is a big deal: Five Republicans just voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want even more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Delaying this bill will make Mike Johnson’s job even more difficult — and we get more time to make calls to Congress, toxify Trump’s Tax Scam, and defeat it.

I miss having hope for the future. Or even believing I have one. 😢

“The demonstrations against Trump have not stopped. And they are every single day.” We’re taking to the streets on June 14 to deny Trump’s fascist birthday wish. There are already events planned in all 50 states for No Kings Day — please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Making progress!

Trump wants to spend $45 million for a military parade on his birthday. You don’t get to throw yourself a $45 million parade while slashing our rights. That’s why we’re taking to the streets on June 14 — because real power isn’t staged in DC, it rises up everywhere else: nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Taking up yet another crochet project...

OK, it was a little too much sun, so we've relocated.

Leilani and I are enjoying today's sunshine. I hope this Friday brings a little blessing to all of you!

Making cake today. #knit #crochet #yarn #swift #winder

Don’t forget tomorrow is the nationwide May Day protest. 50501 has been doing an incredible job organizing, and a lot of our coalition members will be joining events across the country.

I had to frog half of my crochet project yesterday in order to make it better. A good reminder that undoing progress doesn't mean negating skill or worth.

I am crocheting!

Republicans want to restrict access to the ballot and eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. Tell your senators to reject the GOP’s voter suppression bill (especially if your senator is listed here): KELLY (AZ) WARNOCK (GA) PETERS (MI) SHAHEEN (NH) HASSAN (NH) CORTEZ MASTO (NV) ROSEN (NV)

Every elected official took an oath to defend the Constitution. This is their moment to put up or shut up.

I'm still getting used to my new home, but the sunsets are no less gorgeous than in my old one.

The amount of support for #HandsOff in the #tricities was humbling. The people are *pissed*. We got so many honks, waves, thumbs up, pumped fists, heart hands, and applause. And there were SO MANY of us. This truly is what democracy looks like. #powertothepeople

#HandsOff in #KennewickWA today! This was about 1/3 of us, on both sides of the street.

This is what organizing over 1,200 events in a few weeks looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Join the more than half a million of us who will be taking to the streets tomorrow to stand up against Trump’s unprecedented power grab: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Understand this: your local small businesses are not end-to-end suppliers. They rely on others to make, import, and sell their goods. Many of those others were just slapped with high tariffs. In many cases, there IS NO US-BASED equivalent they can use. Trump is killing small businesses.

Wisconsin, polls are now open until 8:00 PM! Make your voice heard and vote for Judge Susan Crawford. Find your polling place: myvote.wi.gov

Volunteering with @indivisible.org @indivis-tricities.bsky.social today, because your voice matters in #democracy

Participated in a very important scientific experiment today.

Next month, I'll be attending my first protest. I'm scared and nervous, but I'm more scared to have never spoken out and thus have been complicit in this hostile government takeover. My voice matters, and so does yours.

If you're furious at Dems who are not fighting, help the Dems who are. We're going up against Elon Musk and the GOP machine in Wisconsin on April 1. Throw yourself into electing Susan Crawford and beating Brad Schimel—and you'll send a message to the whole country.

Moonset this morning...
