Senator Tina Smith going out with a hella bang! Lol.

watching The Nettle Dress documentary www.nettledress.org Textile artist Allan Brown spends 7 years making a dress by hand, just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. #FibreCraft #Fibre #Fiber #FibreArt #FiberSky

Things are probably going to be nuts again today. Please take some time for yourself to recharge your spirit. Tyranny thrives on exhaustion. Meditate, stretch, go for a walk, look at this adorable baby sheep… #knitsky #fibersky #crochetsky

Up late looking at craft projects on #fibersky? I call that Loomscrolling.

Read Pablo Neruda tonight to your beloved

If this whistleblower report is true, Patel has been directing the attempted FBI purge before he has been confirmed. He then brazenly lied about it all at his confirmation hearings. Two big, honking crimes before day one. I'd be shocked if the Senate doesn't confirm him, anyway.

The constitutional order is totally inoperable & the president is delegating powers he does not have to people who have no business even being in these buildings Federal law enforcement needs to start deciding whether they have sworn oaths to the Constitution or a Mad King bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This is the epitome of the stupidity and hubris. Jesus.

David Johansen—aka Buster Poindexter—broke his back in a fall three months ago. He got through the surgery “okay,” and I put that in quotes because he’s still bedridden and even before the accident he was dealing with cancer and a brain tumor. Like millions of Americans, he can’t pay for it alone.

Well, shit. In the tumult of the last few days (spouse in hospital, global insanity, etc.), somehow I missed one of my favourite humans leaving the 🌍... dear Devil Boy, Rest in eternal mischief, Tom. You are magic. I adore you. XO, your God Girl #tomrobbins www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

I love how quiet it is. Make connecting with plant spirits so easy. ❄️🧙🌿🌨️ #witchsky #morningwalk #gaurdians #amcestors

He's running our country like one of his casinos, where the lights and the noise keep people from noticing the grime (and the crime) all around them, and where the free buffet and the chance at a big payoff are designed to make people forget that the house always wins.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Conservatives “we’re a Christian nation” Also conservatives “i don’t believe in charity”

So these dudes just pushed past security? And folks are unable to physically remove them? These dudes?

FUCK THE #BROKENTIMES. This is odious: Jonathan Swan and the Daily ask whether Musk will give government "a shake-up it has needed for years." This is far worse than broken journalism. It is active complicity in the totalitarian, fascist #coup overtaking our democracy.

Our Midwestern values are under siege. At such a critical time for civil and labor rights in this country, Illinois is doubling down on our commitment to protecting all Illinoisans. In doing so, we're solidifying our status as a place of welcome and opportunity for all.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

The famously liberal Wall Street Journal editorial board weighs in…

Noncompliance can happen in a myriad of ways. If you are able to throw sand in the gears of tyranny, you must do so.

Currently preparing my bill to ban sasquatches.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents. WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

USAID Wikipedia page is transitioning to the past tense.

Jesus that's not good.

What's happening in the US feels like the supreme own goal of Brexit, just on a massive scale. With a dash of Truss and Kwarteng, just to fuck everything up. My love to my US friends. And my friends in Canada.

Be scared. Very scared.

this was successful “resistance” — the thing we’re being repeatedly told is done, over, can’t work, never to return

"Our nation, our beloved Canada is under threat." "It's a threat to our sovereignty, and our very future as a nation." "The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States a convicted felon and known predator (rapist)." - Charlie Angus, MP #cdnpoli #tariffwar
