Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

To those who celebrate: Happy Easter! Slice of paska?

Wondering why a lot of videos about today’s protests are showing error messages on my feed…

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Peace and joy and only good trouble to you all this weekend.

Do any of you fellow bluesky-ers know what this treat is, or is going to be?

Any news about whether Daring Dan NewHouse is going to have a town hall? I know his constituents would love to hear his rationale for decision-making lately.

I want Kilmer Abrego Garcia brought back home and somehow compensated for the hell he’s going through, but this is a good point. They should all be brought home and given due process. 🙏

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

Wise words. Take care, keep hope alive.

If you know Yakima, you know the smell and taste of sun-ripe peaches!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Today, we showed up on the Social Security Day of Action to say Hands Off! to Trump, Musk, and Republicans’ attacks on Social Security. 💪

Kilmer Abrigo Garcia, we want you free, and we want the current administration to start acting like it’s run by humane adults.

Numbers in the billions and trillions are hard to comprehend. 🤓 So we made this to show: 1. How much Elon promised DOGE would save in 2024 2. His walkback in 2025 3. What he's now projecting 4. Savings itemized to a source (we're generous to call this substantiated) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Central Washington friends, the cuts are hitting home with this one. As a very recently retired educator, I can’t put into words the ways that this will harm children and families. Good governments fund things that help their people to thrive.

Speak up for Justice! (From a Rachel Maddow post, but possibly easier to) speakupforjustice.law

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

This!

Bring him home…NOW!

Any quilters out there in BlueSkyland? I seek an ethical, inclusive, non-fascist company to do excellent (if simple) quilting for a good price. I used to send mine to a MO company in the mail and would receive it back nicely quilted. But I’m looking at other companies as possibilities. Any ideas?
