A reminder for those in Bucks County, PA. The primary is May 20th. (I just got my mail-in ballot.)

FWIW. Two more hardcore Trump shrines in my neighborhood GONE. Too exhausted from wounded child mind, felon, fascist, rapist, wannabe boy king to care at this point. Still we persist. One side is going down and it's NOT going to be democracy.

The sky tonight. Seeing this I know anything is possible. We will get through the dark night of Trump and emerge the resplendent nation that we are.

In my little town today.

Neighbors say their American son & Belgian wife cancelled 1 mo. stay in US with family. Afraid to enter US. Wife has foreign passport. Son has passport stamps from Congo & all over for work. Neighbors won't see grandson. Neighbor in tears. Real life under Trump.

Attended an oath ceremony today. Smiles, flag-waving, joy. They believe in the promise of USA. First thought was I hope their newly minted citizenship keeps them safe. Then dread. How the hell are we going to fix this? We have to.

This morning, I spent over an hour talking with voters - listening to their concerns, answering questions, & sharing real solutions. While Fitzpatrick hides from constituents & takes bad votes, I'm showing up & fighting for working people who deserve better.

This happened in my state. Tariff fallout patch.com/pennsylvania... @maddow.msnbc.com

Saw at local Hands Off! rally yesterday. Spatula straight from kitchen drawer for sign support. Rep Fitzpatrick calls us paid protesters. @bobharvie-pa.bsky.social You can't jump in the race soon enough. Hit hard, never stop. Fitz's "bipartisan" talk is a ruse.

Massive turnout in my little town in Bucks County, PA.

Ready.

This is a FB conversation I had with a friend. The elderly won't live long enough to see their retirement funds bounce back after Trump's economy-crushing tariffs. This is real life. Even the smallest things any of us do to thwart Trump matter to somebody like my friend. She's scared.

From archive:Medicaid in real life. Recent grad,sick,uninsured & desperate. Then help #Medicaid "The new expanded Medicaid that Gov. Wolf implemented after becoming governor allowed Adrianne to see specialists,get expensive tests and plot a treatment course." www.artassocialinquiry.org/post/adrianne

This is great out of PA. I live here. How did PA become political hotbed? I love the state, but it's not that hopping, trust me, except for deer population.

This happened abt an hour from me. Gaslighting works in campaigns. But when seniors lose sleep over Soc. Sec. cuts, DOGE upending gov't agencies plp rely on, real life comes down hard. The canary in a coal mine just keeled over for the GOP.

"Information not slogans." Happy birthday, ACA. It was a long haul but we got there. ❤️ Advocacy in front of the Supreme Court could get intense at times. youtu.be/7ymwfX296uY?...

oil on linen, 40 ins. x 30 ins.I painted this portrait in 2008. I wanted to create a focal point on which we could place our national discourse. "Undocumented worker" vs."illegal Immigration?" Civility is no longer possible. GOP now the party of fascism.#Resist www.artassocialinquiry.org/immigration

Props-this Ph.D.takedown.Sorry for great white men I know who share white male cohort w/goons who think they're witty w/stupid snark,no substance.Get over LGBTQ phobia if you don't want to be alone.You're only attractive to each other. @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social www.instagram.com/reel/DHPQHsW...

@kenmartin.bsky.social , just heard the DNC is doing a 50 state town hall tour. YES! Please come to PA-1. We're in desperate need of in-person town halls. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick plays the moderate card but votes MAGA. Hides behind tele-"town halls"; calls those who oppose "paid protesters."

Another front lawn homage to Trump dismantled. On way to work, hubby passes house infested w/Trump flags. Yesterday, GONE. Every last one. Diehards really believed convicted felon, rapist, demented wounded child mind would care abt their struggles. Stinging betrayal.That's a lot of hubris to swallow

New sign for today's rally.

MAGA is cracking. MASSIVE Trump flag we pass every damn day is now DOWN. Hmmm...slash and burn is hitting home.
