Today, I texted all three of my adult sons to ensure they have a plan to vote on April 1. Now they do. Tomorrow, I’m gonna ask each of them to text three friends. See where I’m going with this? myvote.WI.gov

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Of course they did. They blame gun violence on mental health and homelessness due to drugs and what do they do? This. 👇🏻 www.cbsnews.com/news/samhsa-...

seeing a lot of people with severe cognitive dissonance when it comes to the comforts they enjoy due to government services

I absolutely love this idea.

We've got happy tears like someone who got a proposal on Valentines Day-except we got a response to our plea to help buy surgery tables that already puts us at enough to buy 2! catsanonymous.org/get-involved...

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

Here we go AGAIN 🤬 The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage. We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

ok sewing the strips is the 2nd funnest part so far, after choosing fabric (of course)

🚨Spread the word: Any separated federal personnel may need to submit an informal grievance. Details here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

If we take this to the streets, know your rights. Study the do’s and don’ts. This is great advice. Study up. Stay safe.

So how is that balanced budget working out that Trump demanded a few days ago? Oh just a causal $880B Medicaid cut and SNAP cut by 20%

I’m not sure what the AP style book for “fuck you, make me” is, but if they bow to the right wing language police here, the AP might as well close up shop

I can get behind it.

“These stories should concern all Americans because they are our family members, neighbors and friends. No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way.” The American Bar Association speaks out. Please read and share. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

My FB feed is littered with “news” pages I don’t follow with “stories” about Trump wonderful / TS booed. The Fourth Estate has fallen 😢

working on my first bubble quilt

Exhausting, but true. The powerful have forever rejected freedoms in order to stay on top.

CHOP has taken care of both my kids, most recently when my daughter had thyroid cancer this past fall. I am so fucking mad at these goddamn ghouls.

Trump just fired the National Archives Director Colleen Shogan “This evening, President Trump fired me. No cause or reason was cited." 🔗 www.404media.co/trump-fires-...

In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.

They're going to try to run away from this. Don't let them.
