Ossoff: "They are building the libertarian, the conservatives' worst nightmare of a Leviathan federal government that is totally unaccountable that acts outside of the Constitution, and a society in which individual rights are not protected."

Lest we forget! Keep them alive. Say their names! Silverio Villegas Gonzáles Alex Pretti Renee Good Keith Porter Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz Heber Sanchez Domínguez Victor Manuel Diaz Parady La Geraldo Lunas Campos Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres STOP ICE ‼️

The Department of Homeland Security isn't killing people indiscriminately Pam Bondi made it crystal clear The Trump administration dispatched Noem and Bovino-with their secret police-to Minneapolis so they can grab full control of future elections They are cementing their fascist hegemony

@daveon.bsky.social is one of my Seattle-area writing buddies & we often meet up to get drinks and complain about Trumpies. He has a theory that every complex system in the universe is held together by the equivalent of “Beryl in accounting,” an overlooked middle aged lady who knows **everything**

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

There are many serious governments in the world. The US is not one of them. (There are no penguins in Greenland.)

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

This is important to us because what’s happening right now in Congress could permanently change protections for a beloved wilderness area. With everything else going on, this quietly moved forward while most people weren’t paying attention and it should concern all of us.

The woman shouting "shame!" was the wife of Renee Nicole Good who had just watched her being murdered by an ICE agent. That reaction was remarkably mild.

if you have come to any of the yarn shows I've exhibited at, it's quite likely you'll have seen my Meg March Shawl. It's the largest of the March Brioche Shawl Collection and it's one of my favourite shawls, partly because it's so big, squishy and cosy. 1/2

I can’t imagine how it must be like, to have a leader, a president, which only mission in life is to divide the people, destabilize all alliances and treaties, override the constitution and prosecute its opponents and political rivals. I would be forced to fight against it, because what my

Unpopular opinion: ATP i dont find anything about this administration funny. The satire is only giving them ideas on how to be more terrible. That shit needs to stop too. Satire about trump isn’t even funny.

An #artvsartist post. I only managed 8 embroideries in 2025 but I definitely spent more time on the details. It was my hardest year as I had to take time out to look after my family, but I’m very much hoping that 2026 will be better.Thanks for enjoying. Much love.😘🪡🌿🌺 #embroidery #thesewingsongbird

That’s not what happened, Nancy.

Make it viral.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I am more discussed and angry at this Republican administration than I am at Trump. He would be nothing without them. He would not be able to wreck our country if it were not for their actions. They were put in office to serve America and Americans not Trump. They all failed miserably

The fact that this government gives billions to ranchers and farmers is another reason why it's an insult that this government is also reducing the wages of farm workers to put more money in the pockets of ranchers and not in the pockets of farm workers. #WeFeedYou

We need a new Amendment to the Constitution that allows the PEOPLE to recall a ROGUE President. Perhaps 1 million signatures from 26 states? At that point there would be a recall referendum. It would be decided if that would include an Impeachment hearing. We must make sure this can’t happen again.

20 people have died in Ice Detention. That's more people than have died in Detention for 8 years.

Pretty much sums up America today.

I'm not an economist but I don't see how this doesn't end in economic collapse. 1. Deporting the labor force that maintains our basic necessities 2. Slashing funding for education, government, and healthcare 3. Massive layoffs across the private sector 4. Destroying relationships with allies.

And now for something completely different… Swedish artist Mathias Kärnlund born 1972 Sweden "Winter glow" Acrylic on canvas 81* 65 *cm “This Painting is, like many this winter, inspired by a view I saw when I was out walking the dog. It is easy to live "here and now" in such situations”

I finished the big one:

“Why not just hire Americans?” 🧑‍🌾“We’d love to. We can’t find the numbers. This is hard work lots of people won’t do… Trump’s policies are definitely impacting the labor force and hurting our farmers. 50-60% of the labor force is undocumented.”

I know this is old news but I just found out today.

Yes. I have done this.
