Made my sign for tomorrow 🐸 (PS The frog was always ours.) #nohate #nokings #amphifa

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

I’m a K-5 art teacher, and I’m constantly emphasizing to my kiddos how important and true and beautiful it is to see brush strokes and dents and mistakes because it shows that a human being made this thing. They’ve taken to calling out all kinds of human things as showing “the hand of the artist.”

I'm attending No Kings's event, “One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Road trip! Playing just outside of Baltimore tonight at beautiful @manormillmonkton with @letitiavansant - hope to see you there 🚙💙

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

Boston!💗

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Things that stand out: - they involved women to try to calm her down/tell her everything is fine, while they are actively stopping her from moving - the covering their faces as soon as they have her surrounded (and not before) Good work here by @wcvb5.bsky.social @mattreednews.bsky.social

Great to see wool Bernie again! Love the idea of a needle felted AOC talisman. Stay tuned 💗

Ok, whew, taking a break from the news to relax and read a couple chapters of The Handmaid’s Tale

Today’s report from the Dept of Not Falling into Despair: new lambs, hand-sewn log cabin square for a mutual aid fundraiser raffle quilt #craftersofbluesky

Full of rage, esp at those 9 cowardly democrats. How are you all protecting your mental peace today? I’m knitting in the car during kid’s sportsball practice, also these little kale sprouts!🥹🌱 #knitting #seedlings

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Very rotten, very stinky. 6x6” acrylic on board

Annual bulb show at Smith. First graders’ rainbow “lambscapes” from last week. Playing tonight at Back Porch Fest, 7pm. I love #northamptonma 🌈🌷

Good morning! Here’s an additional evil thing to compartmentalize as I head off to school for a full day of teaching

I was expecting al green to be thrown out, sure, and then other people to have stood up with him, and one by one they all get thrown out like Spartacus. They make them be removed. I was expecting that because movies have made me expect courage, solidarity, and honor

Cmon other democrats, are you really going to let @algreen.house.gov get kicked out alone? The heckling is the only good part of this- keep it up!!

Dear US friends. I hear you feel ashamed. Know that the world outside of US is well oriented as most of our media is not deceptive. Do not carry the burden of shame. That belong to your President, administration and deceptive Greedy Old Party. Shame do not serve you. It takes your power away. 1/10

This morning’s painting, inspired by Ukrainian folk artist Maria Prymachenko. I stand with Ukraine. #slavaukraini

Dear manager, please find a review of the past week's activity: 1) hammered in the morning 2) hammered in the evening 3) hammered out danger 4) hammered out a warning 5) hammered out love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Mom of young kids here, calling for the national equivalent of scattering legos over our living room floor until we have a democracy again

“Mostly love, mostly kindness Mostly light, before the blindness Most of what we are made of Is right between us, And it’s mostly love,” -Mostly Love, by the great @timgearan , what a needed song for these times ❤️

One thing I am afraid of: that they will take everything away, then give some of it back, and MAGAs will be nothing but grateful. This is domestic (as in 🇺🇸) abuse

Thinking today about the books we read in middle- and high school (I'm GenX): Farenheit 451, A Raisin in the Sun, Animal Farm, A Tale of Two Cities, Grapes of Wrath, Diary of Anne Frank, Macbeth, 1984, Handmaid's Tale, Johnny Got His Gun, The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye..Thanks, teachers🙏

Dear Algorithm, please send me: -folksingers 🪕 -craftivists 🧶 -backyard gardeners 🪴 -historians/librarians 📚 -accountants/lawyers/politicians/fellow citizens who can help save democracy and make withholding federal taxes legal until we get our checks and balances restored? 🤓🏛️ Thanks!🙏💕🗽

Thank you @markey.senate.gov for joining us! Boston answering the call today: No Kings in America!!

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

If eggs were still cheap I’d like to throw one at a Tesla

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Today I started the process of legally changing my last name back to Bastoni (long story)...this process involved: navigating a government website, filling out/downloading/printing a form, gathering all the required documents...(1/🧵)

This broke me. Thank you @timothysnyder.bsky.social. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Well, shit.

If your birth certificate and your legal name don't match up, your ability to VOTE may be upended. I'm still in the process of getting my maiden name back as my legal name and this is keeping me up at night. Please read/sign: act.aclu.org/a/save-act

It’s really fucking gross that people of color and women have had to claw for centuries for every ounce of power we hold in this system and yet an entitled nepo baby fluffed by tech bros so long they’re all blind can just do whatever tf he wants. It’s an incredible condemnation of our culture.
