I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.

DJT was so proud of that Georgia plant, bringing manufacturing to America. I don’t mind that so many of the workers are South Koreans. They still pay taxes and spend money. Hyundai should pull the factory out and rebuild elsewhere, where they will be welcomed.

Love this

When the leadership of any country rationalizes the bloodlust of sociopathy/psychopathy (ASPD), it will lead to large scale violence, war, and genocide.

Gavin Newsom to the press, when asked about his CAPS posts: "I hope it’s a wake-up call. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you should have concerns with what he’s putting out. The deeper question is - how have we allowed the normalization of HIS posts to go without similar scrutiny?"

My latest finished object. Handspun linen lace topper. Pattern is “Donovan”, available on Ravelry.

So, in addition to being Flag Day, stupid military parade day, DJT’s birthday, &No Kings Day, it’s World Wide Knit in Public Day. Shall I take my knitting downtown and sit quietly, with one of my Emotional Support Chickens on display, showing that resistance can take many forms? #activistknitting

HERO ! ZERO !

Reporting my family and I are safe in Boulder. But not unscathed by the hate.

When that second intelligence memo came out that said Tren de Aragua was not a proxy for the Venezuelan government, I was certain someone was going to lose their job. Sure enough.

More and more, JB Pritzker looks, and sounds, like he might be the right guy. "Never before in my life, have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now. We will fight their cruelty ... castigate them on the soapbox ... punish them at the ballot box." - Gov Pritzker

It astounds me that so many megarich people have such an outsized aversion to paying taxes and will acquiesce to so much societal harm in that pursuit when the tax payment would have negligible impact to them. I understand human behavior. I understand desire for wealth. I don't understand this.

The Trump administration has not complied with a federal court order directing it to continue funding legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, attorneys in the case allege.

Let’s be perfectly clear… When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is ‘the role of Congress’ to remove him from office… Full stop. Any Questions?!

Emotional Support Chicken #29 going to donors in Washington State for their generous support for the American Friends Service Committee and ACLU. #activistknitting. Handspun yarn includes bamboo, wool, and silk.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron

It confounds me the GOP thinks they can cause Trump to pivot with any contrition. They STILL don't understand his pathological affinity for doubling down. He's a narcissist who got injured. If he needs to bully the universe and scream lies forever, no problem. Malignant narcissists always get worse.

Can ONE media outlet PLEASE replace the sentence - "our longtime trading partners are viewing America as an unreliable partner going forward" with "our longtime trading partners are viewing America as being presently led by an uncontrollable psychopath." Please?

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

In response to a question moments ago, discussing trade, Trump responded, and part of that response included these exact words: "I don't know. How do you get to be president and you're stupid?" I'm speechless. I am without speech.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

The media keeps trying to understand Trump's fixation on tariffs. In doing that, they normalize him. Allow me: 1. He likes how tariffs make him feel: he bullies, imposes his will, makes threats, removes threats, plays God. 2. He likes that new $ goes into the Treasury which he sees as going to Him.

Trump is a narcissist. Trump is a sociopath. These are disorders. These disorders own him. That's all the explanation you need. If the media wants to understand him - really understand him - they have to view him through his pathology - he is a walking talking cocktail of behavioral disorders.

Emotional Support Chickens 25 and 26. Handspun, handknit.

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Hands Off! #HandsOff rallies should have every complicit, Russian water toting elected Republican, sleepless tonight and every night to come! You thought we would roll over? Y’all evidently don’t know who you’re dealing with! We are THE PEOPLE! Be afraid.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Just took a brief break from knitting Emotional Support Chickens to make a cardigan using repurposed yarn from a previous cardi and leftovers from ESCs. Plus multicolored painted wood buttons.

Happy #Caturday. Mac has never seen an ironing board before (and may never again). But whatever it is, it must be for him.

Handspun, hand knit Emotional Support Chicken, soon headed to a generous donor to World Central Kitchen, with “felted” eggs. Styrofoam “eggs” with various bits of wool wrapped around and hand fulled until “done.” #activistknitting

My green and purple Emotional Support Chicken and another yet to be made in honor of 🇨🇦 just netted a $209 contribution to World Central Kitchen and put me over $7000 raised for progressive causes. #activistknitting

I had to check to see if this sick image was really from the White House. It is. #HillbillyIsis

Pete Hegseth's biggest fear is to be judged by the content of his character rather than the color of his skin.

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.

Donald and Elon both have a pathologically hatred and disdain for those in need. Which is odd, since Donald needed his father to rescue his failed businesses to the tune of over $400,000,000 and Elon needed the US government to rescue his faltering businesses to the tune of $18 Billion (so far).

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Trump is a conman, rapist, sociopath and fraud. JFK Jr is dead. RFK Jr.'s disturbed in the head. Oz is a quack. Bondi's a hack. Flynn's a traitor. Patel's a hater. Vance is odd. Hegseth's a sod. Gabbard's a spy, Putin's her guy. Homan's a weasel. Musk is a measel. And DeJoy still deserves deJail.

President Barack Obama has joined Bluesky. @barackobama.bsky.social
