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...

My medical provider wanting my kids with ADHD to log in a half hour early to their appointments is wild to me

Started The Kingdom of Copper by Shannon (S.A.) Chakraborty. I really enjoyed The City of Brass so this should be good! #booksky

Might save a life.

Dexter was supposed to be teaching a class on hiding from responsibilities but… #catsky

I finished up both The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields and They Were Her Property by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers. Now I just need to decide what to read next… #booksky

Facts 👇👇👇

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I made Salisbury steak for the first time today and it tastes wayyyyyy better than those tv dinners I had as a kid. Sooo good! And super simple! Thank you @barefootneighbor.bsky.social for the recipe!

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country. These Americans are in real danger.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

The point of excluding categories of people from the military like this is to send the message that they are unworthy of citizenship, it is pure bigotry and the assumptions behind it are disproven by the honorable service of the people being targeted in the first place bsky.app/profile/bran...

History is repeating itself. There were more LGBTQ people removed from government during the lavender scare than were suspected communists during the red scare. They only really taught the latter in history classes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende...

Republicans are so brazen that their cuts to Medicaid & SNAP are 1:1 with the tax handouts they'll give to the top 1%. The top 1% makes at least $743,000/year. It's a betrayal of the American people.

I finished reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I had some interesting dreams while I was reading that one! I’ve just started They Were Her Property by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers. #booksky

Had to listen to my parents extol Benedict Donald’s virtues for “saving Kathie Lee Gifford” today so that was fun…

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Movies you’ve watched more than six times, gifs only

It’s already a coup. Will the 90M nonvoters show up to restore our democracy? How many of his 70M will come to their gd senses? youtu.be/wOaUuEzq6bY?...

Alberto Lovo Rojas has a legal work permit and a family in Spokane. He’s been detained. This is a cruel attempt from the Trump administration to deport a hardworking, law-abiding Washingtonian who's contributing to his community and our economy.

Just finished Edward Ashton’s Mickey7. The movie should be interesting but I can already tell they’ve added and changed a few characters. #booksky

Is Stephen gonna blame the birds for this mixup?

As someone who has made use of the mir hotline and online info I am deeply disturbed by RAINNs actions here

We aren’t supposed to go backwards 💔

On a positive note: the felon-in-chief supporting house in my neighborhood seems to have removed the trump flag that’s been ruining the view from my living room window so there’s that 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I made some comfort food bread pudding to help survive yet another day of this bullshit

looking forward to the many press conferences during the next pandemic where we’ll be forced to listen to someone who sounds like pennies in a garbage disposal and looks like fried chicken skin telling us how to stay healthy

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Goodnight
