This is incredibly alarming.

Sincerely, thank you. The Trump administration is trying to bring back chattel slavery, and if the rest of the world stops doing business with us, it will throw a wrench in their plans. Thank you for boycotting. 🙏🏼

“Hello, Goodbye” This was therapeutic af to make. Also this was my first time weaving and felting, so pls be gentle.🫣 #tapestry #artsky #felting #artist

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump and Elon’s unprecedented power grab! You can find a local protest through this link.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

BE AWARE!!! April 20th, 2025 is the 90 day deadline of Trump’s 1/20 executive order concerning The Insurrection Act. There is a very good chance that all those speaking out against this administration will be labeled as enemies of the state. Make plans to protect yourself and your family! 1/n

April 1st in Wisconsin. State Supreme Court Election. Elon Musk has his canidate and the everyday people of Wisconsin have their's. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

To the deconstructing X-tian: You can make the Bible say almost anything you want, but there are irrefutable truths… • Jesus is not a Christian Nationalist. • Jesus is anti-establishment. • Jesus is the leader of the poor, trying to make the world a better place, and saving humanity from itself.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

You tell 'em, Pete!

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Heartless. Cruel.

This aged rather poorly.

My New Year’s Resolution. What’s yours?

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits:

Let’s be clear. Privatization of the post office will mean some addresses simply will not be covered because they are unprofitable. Think of it like our private healthcare system.

It’s okay for the US, with vast resources, to pay for a very cost effective program that helps kids in every income bracket be ready to learn in school. It helps even the playing field for kids. Right now all of PBS is 15% federal funds, the rest is from donations.

The U.S. media is looking inward as #SouthKorea fights for its democracy. This short read (heavy with citations) by @heesoojang.bsky.social gives important context to understand the escalating threat to the South Korean democracy. Please like & share.🙏🏼 The world needs to know! #democracy #crisis

Sometimes self-care looks like asking for help.🗣️ ✨WIP art for tax✨ …I’d fallen behind on work—to the point where I was hiding, bc it was all Just Too Much. Last night, I talked to a friend about it, and suddenly life feels doable again. …All that to say—ask for help when you need it💕you are loved!

I thought this said “to be* a bookshelf with a rolling ladder”, and yes, actually, that sounds lovely— “Come see my books; I have all of your new favorites. I hope the smell of ink and the sound of the rolling ladder make you smile. And take care—your children’s children will read these someday.”

Like this so I remember to download PBS RETRO when I get home? 👉🏼👈🏼
