One week until my murdery darling hits the shelves!

Huh.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from implementing the "unilateral, non-individualized" funding "pause" ordered by the Office of Management and Budget, under that order or "under a different name." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every time the topic of Hobby Lobby comes up (which is often because I teach sewing/knitting/weaving) I tell people I haven't shopped there in over a decade. When asked why, I like to say "do you want the bodily autonomy/healthcare reason or the artifact smuggling reason?"

my cat just made me chase her thru the house. after jumping on my desk and meowing incessantly until i got up. cats. 🤣

Good morning, sisters, brothers and kindreds! Sometimes self rescue is spending the day drawing peonies and drinking tea. Hope you have a restful Sunday! Grateful for this life. Love y’all! Have a restful day!

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Nightly feline bully report: suspect is scrolling too much and needs to get into bed to be my personal heating pad.

good morning! give yourself grace as you show up to every version of yourself - messy, discouraged, humble, distracted. You are here! Have a stron day! eat a good lunch! love y’all!

Good morning! The more courage you claim, the more you starve fear - false evidence appearing real - the more space you make for a world where we can all be safe, loved, named, seen, respected & cherished. Have a strong day. Love y’all!

NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately." | www.wired.com/story/treasu...

Real talk: cutting government services typically doesn't save money, it increases and shifts costs to local communities. For instance, housing homeless Veterans is less expensive to the system than leaving them on the streets. Less chaotic healthcare use. Less police contacts. Less crime. More good.

Is it too late for a bird break? No? Good. Take a break. Have a bird. Photo by me.

@monscience.bsky.social I am so glad i found you here, I have missed your reporting and insights!

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

So DOGE showed up at the CFPB last night. This truly epic press release identifies the workers by name (and biographical low-points) and goes on to say "we welcome our newest colleagues and look forward to the smell of Axe Body Spray in our elevators." nteu335.org/2025/02/07/c...

Briefly at the blog -- if you want another way free from Amazon for your e-books, Bookshop-dot-org now sells 'em.

Belated Imbolc Blessings from last February's Sagebrush Buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus). A sign of Spring's approach as they grow & bloom in the coldest soil, cloudiest skies, snowiest slopes. 🌿 - When contacting elected officials, share how you use Federal info, e.g., I use SnoTel data A LOT.

That's the way one scientist puts it — referring to how infected wild birds survive long enough to spread it to birds and mammals around the world. And that's a serious risk for human health.

Happy #blackhistorymonth! Much respect to Rita Marley. There would be no Bob Marley and The Wailers without her.

As Trump goes after DEI, HillmanTok University is teaching Black history for free to TikTok users. These are someof their lessons ⤵️

Daily self-rescue: every day at 12pm ET I repeat this affirmation I wrote. Join me? "I affirm that our country is filled with very good people who want the best for all of us. I affirm that we are a nation built on democracy, opportunity & justice, & that even if I don't know how, ⬇️

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

I have never been as resistapissed to doing my taxes as I am in this moment. That’s not a typo. It’s the only word that felt right.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

Americans, please call your senators and tell them to vote no on the confirmation of Russ Vought as head of OMB— it’s scheduled for 7 tonight and Vought is the co-author of Project 2025

Call your bank and ask them how they are securing your data from cyberattacks initiated in DC. If you pay your taxes by bank transfer, your data could be compromised.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

The thing I don't understand... 1) Trump did not order USAID disbanded. There was no EO. 2) Even if there was an EO, it does not have the backing of law or Congress. 3) Elon Musk decided he would do this, but he has no official role in govt. 4) All of this is a crime under: 18 U.S.C. § 1361.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961? Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional? Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.
