It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶 This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops. Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta. Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

The least surprising news of the day.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Proof of life now!

'Typo' is short for "topographical error."

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Nobody knows what they have until it’s gone. Whether that’s 💘LOVE, 💰MONEY or 🗳️DEMOCRACY. Do you know what I’m saying?🇺🇸🗽 #Democracy

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Also, lol at the fact our city council is so hilariously shitty that the Olympics, of all organizations, was like “nah dawg, you’re too shitty for us” (bear in mind HB is literally “the surf capitol of America”)

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

@vanhollen.senate.gov should be the biggest story of the day. He just released a press release saying “That’s why I’ve requested to meet with President Bukele during his trip to the United States, and – 1/2

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

Oh you know, just hung out with 36,000 of my favorite friends earlier today.💕 #FightTheOligarchyTour #LosAngeles

Sanders: We’ve got a president of the United States who— Crowd: Boooo Sanders: I agree

"I was worried the turnout would be mediocre. But as the Metro approached Smithsonian station, the number of people boarding the train stunned me. Then, I was overwhelmed by the sight of tens of thousands of people proceeding toward the Washington Monument..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Spent today planting flowers.

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Elton John responds to Madonna’s post.

Oh so what did you do this weekend? 🪧✨

BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.

WE WON. WE WON, HOLY SHIT WE WON. NO PRIDE FLAG BAN IN ALISO VIEJO.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I feel like @booker.senate.gov speech should be played continuously so that THE ISSUES are ingrained into common knowledge. The politically complacent do not understand the significance of what the senator’s actions were. It was and is an EPIC historic moment.

Whiskileaks — pass it on www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

A VERY welcome new tone from the Democratic House leader.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Hey everyone in the SoCal area, I'll be doing a speeching thing at Chapman university on April 24th from 4-5! I do lots of Q&A, so hope to see you there!

Not to mention inciting an Insurrection, attacking and beating cops and hunting down Congresspeople and a Vice President with the intent to kill them .

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

BREAKING: Sec. Hegseth is repeatedly posting the nuclear launch codes in Pewdiepie's Twitch stream chat. He's a sub, so the mods tried limiting him to emotes-only, but he had emotes with numbers in them ready to go. He's not giving up.

Circling back on this…

Stefon: “This party has it all— Dogs In tuxedos, Tron racers on stilts…”🙃 Imagine thinking this guy is looking out for working folks.

The Trump administration helped bring back the Tate brothers (charged with rape and sexual trafficking), hosted Conor MacGregor (multiple allegations of sexual assault), and now invited Dom Lucre (horrific CSAM stuff) to the White House. These are the people they're celebrating and defending.
