There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I finally decided to make a sweater for my hubby as a Christmas present. It’s not very exciting yet, but it’s going to be a Scottish style Gansey with a knit purl pattern and possibly some cables.

Sen. Lee's bill to sell off public lands continues to hit roadblocks of his own making. The Senate Parliamentarian has once again axed the language on rules grounds. Sen. Lee continues to make edits, trying to set precedent for selling off public lands in Congress. HELP US KEEP THE PRESSURE ON.

Republicans are trying to pass the largest health care cuts in history this weekend. But we can stop their Big Ugly bill. To anyone listening: this is not a time to give up. Speak up, speak loud, fight back. We beat ACA repeal in 2017. Keep your shoulders up. Keep fighting.

I checked in on the landscaping at the Blue Elk Inn in Leavenworth that my husband and I did last year. We are very pleased with the result!

NEWS: Senate Parliamentarian says GOP scheme to limit federal court preliminary injunctions by requiring plaintiffs challenging government actions to post large bonds cannot be part of reconciliation bill. A victory for Democrats, rule of law and the courts and a defeat for Trump and the GOP.

Random thought this morning in light of the ICE raids: what if Major League Baseball could be persuaded to go on strike in solidarity with their Latino brothers and sisters who are being kidnapped?

Everyone counting on midterms should be very alarmed.

You guys see this? #pnw #cascadia If this land is sold off…. @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social You going to allow this? @governorferguson.bsky.social you too?

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Yesterday, Senator Lee released the Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s text for the FY25 Budget Bill. The text requires the Department of the Interior and US Forest Service sell millions of acres of public land across 11 western states (AK, AZ, CA, CO, ID, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA, and WY).

We the people may not have much left but to take part in a general strike. I’m calling my Congress women to ask them to support a strike! The only thing the right seems to understand is money and violence.

They Will Call You Violent

Wow! Speaking truth to these officers! Well done! Without that uniform your head is busted same as mine! Bravo!

Join us in keeping the pressure on! Senator Mike Lee has announced plans reintroduce a Public Lands Sell-off Amendment in the Senate version of the Budget Bill. Even without the amendment, the Budget Bill is deeply anti-conservational. TAKE ACTION NOW! suwa.quorum.us/campaign/126...

Pay attention to this!! My gut feeling is this is what's happening. I've been telling people this all day #DarkMaga

A win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to eliminate Job Corps a Department of Labor program that provides job training to young people entering the workforce.

Short thread by @altcdc.altgov.info about new rule changes affecting your federal workforce. #AltCitizen: we could use your help here.

Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

I’m going to need your help on this. This affects #AllOfUs. Forest Service R&D touches every community. Our homes. Our clean air. Our clean water. Our green canopy. Our verdant forestland. I expect @nffe-fsc.bsky.social to be on it, fighting for union brothers & sisters in R&D. Stay tuned ✊

It is imperative that we listen to those who have gone through what we are experiencing now in the US, in order to forge our path forward. #oligarchy

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
