Feels like this all too often.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The US is losing global credibility by the second. We are a dangerous joke thanks to 47 and his henchmen.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

I’ve made a lot of new cross stitch patterns lately. It was time to do one in glass again. My second time doing a rubber ducky. This one is smaller, ornament size. Happy with how it turned out!

RFK Jr doesn’t actually understand what it takes to ‘make America healthy again’. What a lethal farce.

I’m so inspired by @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com who brought powerfully good trouble to the US Senate floor this week (with poetic bonus of burying words of a notorious racist). I made a cross stitch pattern of one of Booker’s great lines. Stitch it with me! Pattern in the shop linked in bio.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

You've got to wonder how many signal chats are going on in the Trump administration that they didn't accidentally include the Editor in Chief of The Atlantic in.

Imagine believing your child was “killed” just because they don’t identify with the sex they were born with. A real father would love their child unconditionally.
