If Donold doesn’t think it’s his job to uphold the Constitution, maybe someone else should have the job.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

all right everybody, here we go links, trackers, webinars, templates, and all the free support you need if you just got that nightmare NEA email on Friday please share far and wide, you do NOT have to be in Oregon to use these resources

Relatable.

Making progress… #knitting #minecraft

When a president "doesn't know" if he has to follow the constitution, how do you not immediately bring up the fact that he took an oath to do exactly that? A real journalist would do that. A conspiratorial fluffer would move right along and pretend everything was normal.

I keep hearing that these empty ports mean that all of us are about to “go through some things,” and while I am worried about shortages, the reason I am truly frightened is that this pandemic has taught me that when all of us “go through some things” many of us do not survive.

Show Recap: Little Craft Fest (Houston) & GIVEAWAY!

Yup. Done with Target forever.

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Because I am older than dirt, I keep accidentally calling this the Minesweeper sweater. #iykyk #knitting

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

This is a site to help people find pro MAGA businesses. Here is a listing of yarn businesses you might feel the desire to boycott. #knitsky #knitting #yarn #crochet #crochetsky #elbowsup #handsoff #boycott #crocheting www.publicsquare.com/search/busin...

If you call someone a "r*tard" it says more about your intelligence than anyone else's.

Even more evidence she's a garbage human being.

This is absolutely HORRIFIC. I understand the courts are moving quickly but it's not fast enough. What is wrong with this country?

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

This is so well said THEY ARE OURS. We also PAID for them with our tax dollars. We voted for people who created and maintained them.

Itchio everyone, Gumroad is dead!

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Jesus. Heads up NC voters.

One more week to apply for the two #TenureTrack professorship that are open the #Geography Department of #Humboldt-University Berlin! Great opportunities for postdocs with an interest in working on human-environment systems and global change - deadline April 11. @humboldtuni.bsky.social

Don’t look at me, I voted for the nice black lady with the funny laugh.

For #TransDayofVisibility you should check out these amazing artists!! go.bsky.app/7Bda1v3 #TDoV

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Yep

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering… Meanwhile, America elected a barely sentient orange turnip. Any Questions?!

In a perfect world, the town drunk and the Secretary of Defense would be two different people.

Mostly still doomscrolling and incessantly emailing and calling my reps. But there is also knitting and quilting.

A little experiment: I’m posting this here and not to Instagram. I have two of this gorgeous, speckled, one of a kind blurple colorway on my Yak Bak fingering base. They’re ready to find their forever homes! #knitsky
