Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

Loving the new 4" Chiaogoo Fortes. They are the perfect length for me! #showmeyourwips #knit #knitting #knitsky

So the previous strikes didn’t “totally obliterate” their nuclear capability then? The same lies and propaganda over and over

Kayla predictions: annoying snow here but temps above freezing. Horrible, nasty storms heading to the east. It's like Mother Nature has something to say & she will be heard🙀 Plz stay safe friends. Warm hugs to you all ❄️💙❄️

The President made products more expensive for the American people. People are going to tell their senators, we don't like this. So it's time for my Senate colleagues to weigh in on this debate.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

Picturesque Seattle

Me after grabbing Joe Jackson tickets that are basically selling out all over the place. (I even checked into going to Toronto to see him when I found out that his show in PVD has...one ticket left.)

A quick minute of #scarf #knitting on 2/21/26. #knitsky

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Pretty little box laying, heater basking Kitty 😺

8 visits to Kremlin. 0 visits to Kyiv.

Just a teddy Bear shaped cat.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Quick update on “the world according to Elon Musk, the richest man in history. —“Gender” is a fake propaganda term —The “woke mind virus,” however, is “real and quantifiable.”

What she means by ‘last chance’ is Reform UK are the last chance failed Tories like her have at a career.

CHICKY BABIES DAY 2! In which we learn to flee from potential predators. #BackyardChickens #Birds #Eggs #Spring #gardensky

Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive — it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying

the face of a girl so overwhelmed from a long day(week)(year)(decade, even) that she sobbed the whole drive home and had to sit in the bathroom crying for 20 minutes after !!! i am Experiencing Symptoms

North of Bozeman, Montana, in the Bridger Mountains, Minarik Architecture recently completed a project for a client seeking a multigenerational home. "The house is oriented east-west along a single contour, parallel to the topography," Minarik points out.

Much as Alaska, North Dakota and Texas grew rich when drilling companies struck oil and natural gas, solar and wind power can bring counties both construction work and cash, in the form of leases and tax revenue www.aol.com/articles/big... / @piperformissouri.bsky.social @lesliejones4mo.bsky.social

The Gem Hall at LA’s Natural History Museum is full of big ass rocks that look like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. 10/10 experience for mineralheads.

Trump arbitrarily raising global tariffs to 15% in a fit of rage, while maliciously refusing to refund private businesses that did nothing other than get illegally taxed by him, is another sign that right wing nationalism is getting utterly discredited in real time. More in this piece/thread:

Ink Radio. The only place you’ll hear.

Kristi Noem has DHS buying surveillance software made by identified FSB veterans for use by ICE. What could possibly go wrong? Start with this: there is no such thing as a "former FSB agent."

We voted! Texans please go vote! 🗳️

“I wouldn’t trust him with nothing. He’s always been that little liar. I mean no one—no one—likes him.” Rep. Cory Mills' scandals range from allegations of stolen valor to reportedly hiring sex workers to rumors of sucker-punching someone abroad. Our latest investigation:

the pope telling jd vance to fuck off must be a religion unto itself because i’m devout

Liu and her father, who had protested the Chinese government after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were targeted in an alleged spying scheme months before Liu competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

It’s Caturday morning, and Jett is keeping a watchful eye out ‘cause he knows how volatile things are out there. He don’t take no 💩 from nobody! #caturday #catsofbluesky #blackcats #voids

Weird ass differences in doing makeup and dress does wonders. Shifted my makeup a bit, lessened the elongation of eyes and sharpened some features with contour without being too much. Settled for coppers and golds. I’m down with this.

Showing up in Texas for Democracy and Freedoms. #ICEOut

Play hard, sleep harder #caturday

Ghost the very fancy shelter mutt says happy #Caturday

This keeps getting funnier.

Blue is patiently awaiting a pup cup snack.

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

ICE has spent the past two months racially profiling Minnesotans. During my oversight visit to Whipple yesterday, I demanded they make a change and get their untrained agents off our streets. Kristi Noem’s DHS has inflicted lasting trauma on our community. I won’t stop pushing for accountability.

A lil #Caturday collage of last week with King Kitty Frederick

god he’s the fucking worst

As usual... the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.

Happy Friday! I apologize for my radio silence – I am underwater on 100 projects. We had no sunrise, but the rain took enough of a break for me to get to the ocean and do this uber-slow zoom into the waves. Tap and turn horizontal for full size. I hope you are having a great day!

10% yesterday. 15% today. As Gorsuch wrote, could be “1 percent or 1,000,000 percent .. and he may change his mind at any time for nearly any reason.” 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/b...

Thank you to the Oneida County Democratic Committee for their support and unanimously designating me for re-election in NY-22. Another packed house in Oneida County!

The 1980s saw me regularly cyclilng round Cambridge looking for views to paint, usually putting my bike on its stand and balancing my drawing board on the handlebars. This is a watercolour and gouache sketch of Christ's Pieces, a central park (see alt text). #Cambridge #watercolour

I can’t share this on any other page yet because it is a gift for someone who faithfully supports me… But this little critter is finally looking cute so I had to show him off! Excuse the limbs in the background. #crochet🧶 #amigurumi #babygifts
