Oh, and wearing a Canadian flag lapel pin over here. Because, you know…

I’m knitting too much. 😭 It’s my coping skill but I don’t really need all this stuff!

Thanks!

A few of the men are still alive Who remember that day in ‘55

A resident in OB Gyn The entire staff of Biochem The man who brought Carnation milk

A pusher of diapers And similar ilk, A couple of brothers and grandpapa, Took part in all the gay hoopla, The grocery, the banker, the Blue Cross man

But on hearing the news I passed out cold And remember naught But what I’m told. So happy birthday! Your old man

Every year I read this card my dad made for my 18th birthday. It’s 52 years old now. Antique.

YouTube video by Senator Patty Murray Murray Slams House Republicans’ Power Grab Funding Bill & Urges Senate to Pass Short-Term CR

The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers.
 
I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly why I'm voting NO—let's pass my bill to prevent a shutdown ASAP.

Every day is No Shopping Amazon day for me. 🙃🥳

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.

Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Thanks!

A year or so ago, I bought a big bag of raffia at the local farm store. I knew I’d make
something but I was thinking cordage. Now I have one bundle left, and a new sun hat. #crochet

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Back in the early 90s, I was teaching some yoga moves to a young relative and her very right winged religious mother told me that yoga was the devil’s work. I see that’s come back. 🙄

Demonic Yoga Indoctrination on your dime

These are the things taxpayers could be funding if left to the GOP — lessons on demons and memorization of Christian scripture. Girls would be reminded of their place in society and every other religion would be admonished as near Satanism on your dime. jesspiper.substack.com/p/demonic-yoga

“Together, these actions will make people in the United States and around the world less prosperous and more vulnerable.”

“We at Nature denounce this assault on science. And we encourage the global research community, wherever they can, to voice their opposition.”

FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference.

Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime.

$10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual.

Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

🚨 DELETED FROM WH.GOV

The administration just deleted information & resources from its website on the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women & violence against Indigenous women.

To the families of missing or murdered women: you will never be erased.

Ha! I just ordered several skeins to make a cardigan. Least expensive cardigan yet...minus te labor, of course. Have also made two wraps and a poncho from same.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

Made my own metatarsal pad. Crocheting is a survival skill.

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.

Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

“I realized a lifelong dream to work for the premier environmental protection organization in the world. An organization that mission was to protect the people like me, who used to play on the slag mounds behind Buckeye Steel. Standing amongst the best, I felt an immense pride in my achievements.”

Add SOMETHING to all the other somethings!

Boycotts work.

The NAACP advises consumers to avoid Lowe’s, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Meta, McDonald’s, & Tractor Supply until they reaffirm their commitments to fairness.

The advisory praises Costco, Apple, Ben & Jerry’s, e.l.f. Cosmetics and JPMorgan Chase & Co for standing firm.

I remember that feeling! Congrats!
