He's intentionally crashing the American economy...with global ripple effects. It should be an impeachable offense. There isn't a single Republican in Congress who has the courage to oppose this carnage.

He doesn’t know anything about how our government works! And he doesn’t care. And the more desperate he becomes, the more lurid the lies.

Who agrees with AOC....

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

What happened last time we had a mad king? America doesn't do kings.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Knitting some socks. Learning a new heel technique. These aren't for me that's why they look a bit big.

Amazing day out here and across the country! We have over 70 people at this store in Pasadena. Won't post shots of the crowd, up to others if they want to. This is just the beginning! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

For real. How do I mute posts about sports bc there's nothing about which I could possibly even pretend to care less.

Making some pollinator pals today

Not sure if local pizza place is maga owned so homemade it is.

So basically, the Department of Health and Human Services is finished. If you want to stay safe from food recalls, viruses, and whatever else is coming—better start looking elsewhere for reliable information.

So many men, including many liberals, told women we were overreacting.

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

Just want to drop some pics from our party this weekend. Homemade and locally sourced. Except the damn tortilla chips so obviously I need to do better next time. The amazing dachshund treats were made by my friend!

I think we’ve come up with the name…

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Susan Collins has told reporters she will vote for Psycho Bob to lead the HHS. It proves one thing. Susan Collins is incapable of learning a single lesson.

Getting ready for a party this weekend. Fancy toasts from homemade shokupan. Tons of crackers. Hummus. Mango cheesecake. Still have a day and half of cooking left.

I'm addicted to this knit by Laura Nelkin. Cannot put it down even though I'm supposed to be doing other stuff!

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts. Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

Drop Target. Shop at Costco. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/b...

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

The colors are just mesmerizing

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but going to the gym to train is not resistance. Karate is not resistance. Organize in your community. Take care of people. Do the hard work of making sure people have what they need to survive. Do it through organizations that are already there.

Working on the cowltopus with these gorgeous yarns. I can't stop admiring the colors and the brilliance of the pattern. By Laura Nelkin.

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced a bill to get rid of the Department of Education. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

That's one way to put it.

Trump and Duffy and Vance are segregationists. What they are saying when they blame DEI is “we believe only white men can do any job, we will blame everything on anyone who Black, brown, female, LGBTQ-+, disabled, and we intend to fire anyone who is not a white man.” Segregationists.

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Call it a purge, not a buyout. Call it a coup against Congress, not a spending pause. Call it censorship, not a review. Words matter, and we in the media have a chance to do better this time.

You guys, please follow my friends at Forested Way. They are so incredibly talented and hard-working, and ridiculously wonderful people!

Did you know @libradunn1.bsky.social and I have a podcast? Did you know it’s free? Did you know a new episode is out today? Yay!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

For those asking how to find Mutual Aid resources where you live, here's a hub. Please note that not every mutual aid org is on here (my very robust local isn't) so also do some research if you don't see one near you. mutualaidhub.org

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Some frying, some baking today.

#WhiteWomenRefusingToVoteForAWomanPresident #Racism. #NotWantingAnotherWomanToSucceed . . .

Today is for baking Japanese milk bread and lemon cake
