Taking some time off this afternoon to do a little painting, I think. Art may not heal our beloved earth, but it sure can help to soothe our souls..... so that we can continue the fight for better, safer, and more sustainable policies. Happy Earth Day 🐣

Okay......... so, I'm thinking about Pope Francis, and the fact that Vance had JUST visited him..... and, all things considered with this "administration," I can't shake the thought that he did something to him.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from β€œ2024–25” to β€œ2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

In these dark times where reality is actively being distorted and blatant lies are the reigning narrative..... WE can still live in and SPEAK TRUTH as loudly, clearly, and consistently as possible. I believe in the power of us, and that we can do amazing things together.

BRING KILMAR HOME

An innocent man was sent to an El Salvadorian prison and the Supreme Court just decided not to bring him back. The rot in this country, in our politics & courts is so much deeper than one man. Do not let their lack of humanity corrode your own. The real question is what are we willing to sacrifice?

Thinking about how humans are a prosocial species, and how that is such a driving factor in everything we do..... including cults. Good morning πŸ™ƒ

🐁🐸🐝 Hooray! Shirts (and more!) for EVERYBODY! I make a lot of #art - all different styles - take a look! My Teepublic: www.teepublic.com/user/patchwo... My Redbubble: www.redbubble.com/people/patch...

When I wrote this song back in November, I didn't mince words - and I stand by EVERY word I said. If a picture says a thousand words, then I think this shows mr. chump's legacy of harm. Made this collage today, and it was weirdly cathartic. #resist 🌈πŸ₯ΉπŸ’š

The thing about "american made" products is that a lot of parts and resources..... aren't 🐣

I'm a loner, Dottie - a rebel πŸ˜„πŸ₯Ή

Thank you to whoever made this

C'mon #Wisconsin - we CAN do this TOGETHER! Let's #VOTE like we mean it and tell ol' MelonHusk that #WEthePEOPLE aren't easily bought πŸ₯ΉπŸ’š

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, and I just want to say: Without T, 🌈we'd just be a bunch of lonely letters. Today and *every day* is a good day to support trans people. I love you πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’šπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Sharing an image to get all the info in one post. April 1st! Let's do this, #Wisconsin πŸ₯Ή

Wisconsin: April 1st, do not let musk buy our state. Please vote for Susan Crawford. Also, please vote NO on the unnecessary voter id question. Here's why: www.aclu-wi.org/en/news/why-...

I feel like Karoline Leavitt is going to have a really, REALLY messy awakening - maybe in her mid-40s? - after such a lifetime of indoctrination.

Thinking about grocery shopping; how many times I've seen little old people with barely enough groceries in their carts to feed a toddler; how republicans have deemed little old people "fraudsters" if they dare inquire about missing social security checks; how it's yet another white collar stick-up.

🌈 Happy Spring πŸ₯°βœ¨οΈ

NO LGB WITHOUT T πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’šπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ TW: if you're trans and/or if you've been paying attention, please skip. (adding the rest of what I need to say to my thread)

I think we're seeing the shift. It's too early to say for sure, but I've been feeling it building since Obama's second term - and then, again, in 2016, 2020, 2024..... It's like the democratic party started to boil and separate between the old ways and the new ways.

Wisconsin shows up for trans youth ❀️ Although we know the proposal of these bills can cause anxiety and harm within our community, we are so proud of Wisconsin for showing up for transgender youth. (1/2)

Almost 8 hours later, we are still at the capitol. We are still speaking out for the rights of our trans youth. There is still time to speak. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈβœŠ

If you haven't, please send in a short letter re: AB100/AB103 (anti-trans legislature being heard in Madison today, at 10am) There's a protest, and I've gotta work, so I just sent my letter. Here's a place to send (BEFORE 10am today!) to speak up for trans kids in WI: [email protected]

Thank you, Representative Al Green.
