Alex Pretti was a good man, who loved his dog, the outdoors, and his country. America, are you okay?

I am heartbroken. All this could be stopped by 23 Republicans joining w Democrats to defund ICE & impeach Trump. Praying for courage, justice, and peace for us all 💔

Feeling like everything shutting down for snow is good practice for everything shutting down for ICE #generalstrike #iceout

In Minneapolis, there’s a general strike happening this Friday, January 23. No work. No school. No shopping. Get ICE out of MN, get ICE out of everywhere.

Pen and pencil drawing in a composition notebook on a yellow couch cushion. Image is of Renee Good, with hand-drawn text reading “I’m not mad at you” and Renee’s name.

Hand painted protest sign: a painting of Kermit the Frog sitting on a log and playing a banjo. Text on banjo reads “No Hate/No Kings.” “AMPHIFA” written in all caps along bottom of painting.

Made my sign for tomorrow 🐸 (PS The frog was always ours.) #nohate #nokings #amphifa

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

I’m a K-5 art teacher, and I’m constantly emphasizing to my kiddos how important and true and beautiful it is to see brush strokes and dents and mistakes because it shows that a human being made this thing. They’ve taken to calling out all kinds of human things as showing “the hand of the artist.”

The words “No War,” handwritten in all caps, appear multiple times across a notebook page.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country.

Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Road trip! Playing just outside of Baltimore tonight at beautiful @manormillmonkton with @letitiavansant - hope to see you there 🚙💙

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

No Kings in America

So are we making passports and name changes free? I just spent a pile of $ that could have gone to groceries to get my name to match on all my documents. If this isn’t a poll tax I don’t know what is 👎

Boston!💗

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

Things that stand out:
- they involved women to try to calm her down/tell her everything is fine, while they are actively stopping her from moving
- the covering their faces as soon as they have her surrounded (and not before)

Really, though? Even a single consequence from this evil crew, for any of this dangerous bs?

And what is the recourse if he does not? Doesn’t seem like “doing the right thing” is his thing, ever.

Ok great, let us know which other companies we can boycott!

Great to see wool Bernie again! Love the idea of a needle felted AOC talisman. Stay tuned 💗

Ok, whew, taking a break from the news to relax and read a couple chapters of The Handmaid’s Tale
