It's happening here. Time to wakeup. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The beginning of my ducky army has left the kiln. :)

I stand with Ukraine. The devolution of American integrity is heartbreaking. The few, responsible leaders who are left must act now to ensure things don't get worse, and we must have greater controls in the future. @govpritzker.illinois.gov

United Farm Workers just sued Border Patrol. The details in the complaint are harrowing www.aclusocal.org/en/press-rel...

The public comment period for changing passports to misgender trans people is open. Please take a moment to let them know that you do not support that change.

In my ongoing saga of teaching myself to water marble, here's my first attempt on silk. Freshly dyed and hanging to drip.

Something concrete you can do. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

⚠️ BREAKING: U.S. 🇺🇸 reports 4.676 million new COVID-19 cases in a single week, with 668,000 daily infections. Currently, 1 in every 72 Americans is infected with COVID-19. Transmission rates are now higher than at any point during 59.3% of the pandemic.

It is crucial that high risk folks like myself not have the right to mask taken from us. Contact your IL legislators and support HB3853

Happy Valentine's Day. I got you a heart-shaped peanut but I eated it. Squirrel of the Day for February 14, 2025 #sqrlpix

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

Alt Nat'l Park Svs says: Engage now! Nationwide and international boycott of all Musk-related products and services. Sell Tesla shares, don't buy Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete X accounts. Int'l folks pls help. Propose tariffs on Musk-affiliated businesses! Join us in taking a stand.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I've continuously felt in panic mode the last few days. After I did necessary work and did my 5 calls I've been teaching myself how to water marble in an attempt to lower stress levels.

Under the Trump administration, privacy experts say there’s a new urgency to making sure people understand the risks of their digital communication and take the proper precautions. This is especially true for anyone who works with the government.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Best description I've ever seen for laymen, on the work Trade Compliance folks like me do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqkv...

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Incredible. Thank You!

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

5calls.org makes it super easy to call your representatives. Now is the time to make your voice heard.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Shameful and murderous www.propublica.org/article/trum...

America has come to this.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.    He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.   Congress must investigate.

As a trade professional I continue to be boggled by the short sightedness of drumfss policies. I can't believe there isn't a single advisor who can get through how catastrophic these tariffs will be. Then again the rest of the dumpster is 🔥 so...

And is *anyone* in authority, an elected official, perhaps, doing anything about it? Or are they sitting on their arses? Asking for a friend.

Incredible reporting from The Atlantic on the very real costs of the US's migration policies. A worthy read. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

It's a Friday, have a cat. I can't quite tell if he is asking me to gtfo or come hither with those eyes!

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Do not fucking do this, do not open your phone for the police, you will be giving them the right to look at everything on your phone.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...
