#blackoutthesystem is back. You all saw what an economic boycott did for Jimmy Kimmel; see if you can do the same thing to protect your freedom and your life.

"Everyone should have access to the sacred domain—otherwise, a collective insanity, or lack of sanity, develops. That lack of sanity comes from having lost touch with what is beyond oneself—or the Sea of Divine Existence, altogether. . . . --Avatar Adi Da Samraj www.priorunity.org

Don't know German history in such detail, but if this is true the unification of centrists and progressives in the US <must> happen or history will repeat itself.... www.youtube.com/shorts/hUdMS...

Had to login to the Soc. Sec. website today and later received an email from them touting 'no Fed tax on social security benefits for seniors' and the amazing passage of the BBB! I was so enraged I almost threw my laptop at the wall. JFC! #socialsecurity #BBB

Lots of people are checking out my post on American made yarn today. If you're interested in buying more locally (if you live in the US) check it out here: www.ourdailycraft.com/2025/01/13/a... #craftsky 🧶 (always looking for new people to add if you know of some I missed!)

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables. California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world. Let that sink in. #energysky #greensky

Undocumented workers contribute about $2.2 trillion dollars, or 8 percent of the GDP. But that only scratches the surface. You don't freeze out 8% of your GDP without massive consequences to the economy. Undocumented migrants HELP America be stronger. This is a fact.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶 This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops. Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta. Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Facts, data and history are important, but at this moment in our national life, they only take you so far. Personal stories put a human face on an issue like church-state separation that can often seem to be legalistic and theoretical. www.au.org/the-latest/a...

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please SHARE!

#handsoff in little Sonoma,CA.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Called SS office today to change my address since you can't online. The wait time to speak with someone was 2 hours. The message also said it currently takes 200 days to process Medicare applications. WTF??!! #socialsecurity #medicare

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

Hey #knitsky, anyone experienced being locked out of Ravelry and the system says your email is not in the system (and so you can't get back in)? I submitted a help request but have not heard back yet. Yikes! I am having withdrawals, plus my projects are all listed there. #knitting 🧶 #knitters

Please follow this ex-pat living in Spain. Very wise. Worked for Tesla. Great, grounded content about the current moment. youtu.be/NGl8IgfmADo?...

If you follow online forums and comments in Europe, all Americans are starting to be seen as dumb and complacent. Surprise, surprise! They are angry that we don't DO something. Never thought I'd see the day.

Beautiful summary of a process to peace for Ukraine from Finnish prime minister. #ukraine www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWar...

My cousin, an economist at HHS, says the economic impact over the coming years of all these layoffs will be devastating. I don't think people realize how the innovations and work of our institutions actually create wealth for our nation in so many ways.

Bernie is doing a tour of deep Trump country and encouraging folks to stand up against the oligarchy. Overflowing attendance. He points out politicians aren't going to bring Trump down...citizens standing up will. youtu.be/YTpCMMoMO8k?... #action #stopoligarchy

You should go to the ruby red districts because nobody is there. No one is campaigning. No one is knocking doors. No one is making calls. And people don’t know the truth..come here because it’s moral and because we can win when we compete everywhere. I’m here! I’ll help!

Had a screamy day today. 🙁

Tonight in her newsletter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social quoting Maine Senator Angus King telling the Senate to wake up. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This. Sen. Murphy leading the charge of delaying and slowing down.

Government isn’t a business.

Just went on FB for the first time in ages. After 30 minutes I was enraged. I'm done. I believe I have set my account for deletion. It feels very freeing!!! F*ck you Zuck! #FuckFacebook

Absolutely gorgeous!

Hats galore! It’s been a het winter so far. 🧶 1/2 #knitting #knitsky

Trying to learn to knit brioche this week. Encouragement and advice appreciated. 🧶 #knitting

if you're trying to call your senator/congress and their voice mail box is full- call their in-state offices. good chance you'll get a live person. doesn't have to be the local office closest to you. call any district office to leave a message. 5 calls can help w/ phone numbers- 5calls.org

Dear @schiff.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov and others: ⬇️ this is what we do now. Please!!

Cousins who are Fed workers in DC say DEM staffers say the best thing we can do is show up in-person at the events or offices of our Senators and Rep. Get in their faces or staffers faces. Emails are thrown our or ignored. Phone is next best, but... 1/2 #resist #coup

I've been staying off most media except for here and one or two outlets. It seems there is very little in media about what is happening to our government, nor demonstrations that are or may be going on. Is it just my lack of looking?

The smorgasbord of music at #FireAid is such a wonderful representation of America and the warmth and balm of coming together. Really needed this right now.

What's so incredibly painful about this moment, is that at some point in the future when all is said and done, those that supported and participated in this charade, will realize they were wrong. But by then, the damage is done. History repeats itself and humans don't evolve much.

Love she doesn't give f*cks anymore...

My 90yo mother's quilting group are all tuning their TVs to the Homes & Garden channel and leaving it there so the Nielson viewer ratings are skewed today. #resist however you can.

Knit like your life depends on it. #knitting #knitsky 🧶 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
