Margaret Sullivan from the top rope

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away. Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid. Neither are we. On MONDAY let's #FreeDavidHuerta, #FreeThemAll 11:00 AM @ Grand Park in Downtown LA (200 N Grand Ave)

I took one of the very first college classes offered in the US studying the creation of DHS and what it meant. You bet we had this discussion.

It’s been a heck of a few days, but at least I got some shmeep 🐑 pots back from the studio. #pottery

My third shop drop of pottery live! I’ve got ski themes, mountains, rainbows, yarn, & purple with bubbles? 😂 It’s an eclectic bunch but maybe you’ll find something you like and support me in building my #pottery skills! www.adinamarguerite.com/shop?categor...

Let’s give it up for the creative process! 5 years ago I sketched that little watercolor piece of imaginary ceramics. 2 years ago I started learning ceramics. And today, I finished my project of bringing those sketches to life. #pottery

They just arrested the mayor of Newark. www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/n...

Happy new pot day! Another Hilda (by @thatlukeperson.bsky.social) inspired piece! First batch of working with brown clay here and I love it! I inlayed some white underglaze here to make the woff pop! #pottery

I’m sure your feed could use more flowers. Don’t forget what we’re fighting for. 🌍 🌎 🌏

Two recent mugs. White clay with shiny glazes & brown clay with a satin glaze. #pottery

This is an era where it’s really important to know your rights and to make sure others around you know their rights, NO, ICE cannot enter your home without a *judicial* warrant. Not an administrative one like what they were trying to use with the WI judge to arrest someone. A judge-signed warrant.

Another sake set, this time in brown clay! Which I’m irrationally excited about getting to use! Blue & white shino glazes. #pottery

Sheep 🐑 #pottery timeline cleanse! A sweet sake set in what’s becoming one of my favorite motifs. Also really enjoyed throwing these forms, so probably more of these sets in my future!

Shoutout to all my fellow artists who embrace their weird and use it to make stuff. I love you.

Your healthy dose of art in the feed. “The Wilderness House” 2025 A wool & cotton wall hanging weaving inspired by the “Hilda”books & TV series by @thatlukeperson.bsky.social. #weaving #hilda

By not complying with a Supreme Court ruling, the Trump Administration is fully violating our checks & balances. They are violating the U.S. Constitution.

a lesson for every college, law firm, business, etc. — if these chodes demand you do something, your first response should be some form of "make me"

Been experimenting with Hilda fan art in clay & fiber. Can’t wait to share the finished results! #pottery #weaving #hilda

Tonight, a Democratic candidate became the first Democrat to win the county in a federal election race since 1992. A simply stunning result. Trump won FL-1 by 37 points. Republicans have easily routed Democrats in Pensacola’s Escambia County for over 30 years. Not tonight.

I just re-read the full Declaration of Independence. It's the most illuminating and depressing thing I've read in a while. Highly recommend folks give it a read. Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is what fascism looks like. newrepublic.com/post/192946/...

Collaborators with the fascists.

Where do we get the real time vote info today?

Who is going to primary @schumer.senate.gov & Gilibrand? No fascist enablers.

I’ve called three of @schumer.senate.gov’s offices and none give an option to leave a voice mail. I’m a former federal employee and I understand the consequences of a government shutdown more than most. As your constituent, I expect you to vote NO on cloture & NO on the spending bill.

Dark days call for 🐑 pots. BRB while I go make an entire dinner set in this design. #pottery

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...

They want federal employees to suffer psychological abuse and not speak to press about it. It’s not difficult to imagine them coming after members of the media next. Scary shit, but silence is not an option.

I went skiing at Sugarbush this weekend and JD was there, and signs of resistance were all over. Every ski patrol I saw was wearing a pride flag pin

Abalone is judging you for ________? #vizsla

This does *not* mean no flu shots in the US next year - not by itself, anyway. The WHO picked and published their recommended strains as always. This year. It’s an A/H1N1, an A/H3N2, and a B/Austria (+ a B/Phuket for quadrivalent shots*). US manufacturers *can* still use the WHO guidelines.

CBP is detaining german tourist for over 1 mo because they accused her of intending to tattoo for $$ while in US. In jailing her to deport, they held her in solitary for 9 days, also kept her from her return flight Feb 15. She's still jailed. CoreCivic+CBP ⬆️ 💵 www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

@missedinhistory.bsky.social glad you’re here!

I’m all for folks doing the blackout day! Let’s try every kind of activism! Everything is worth doing! I just don’t think you should give this dude that’s “organizing” it any of your money cause he’s absolutely a grifter.

Nazi much?

Grid cleanse.

What the absolute F? Gosh I hope she gets primaried.

Fresh pots! My cup style candle holders in a new favorite glaze. #pottery

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.
