MY CARD. MR. GEO. PUSHEM, EFFICIENCY EXPERT. AND STAY OUT! I HAVE NO USE FOR THE SHARP BOYS THAT GO AROUND SHOWING EMPLOYERS HOW THEY CAN KILL OFF THEIR HELP QUICKER BY SHIFTING TUO MEN'S WORK ONTO ONE!!!

The Evansville Press, April 10,1916

The circle of defiance continues to grow.

Federal Reserve Rings Every Alarm Bell About Trump’s Economy Fed Chair Jerome Powell has delivered an alarming warning about Trump’s tariffs causing stagflation.

“If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment,” the Federal Reserve chair said.

This is exactly what Trump doesn’t want the American public to hear.

#gratitude that my new #weaving project has warped up really easily and is off to a great start. Being able to do a little here and there between classes helps keep my brain and fingers busy enough to stay distracted from seasonal allergies. Mostly.

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s executive push to eliminate DEI in public schools.

The court said what we already knew—this isn’t about law, it’s about censorship. Teachers’ rights matter. Students’ rights matter. This fight is far from over.

Shout out to all of you because this is exhausting and I know seeing other Americans fighting against Unconstitutional authoritarian governance too, helps. This isn’t about party, it is about country. We are in an existential test but to know you love the country too makes the fight worth it. Ty.

My warping seems improved here. So satisfying to see plaid forming right before my eyes! #weaving

Auschwitz was not a single camp. It was 40 camps...in Poland.

Hitler sent people to die in foreign prisons without a trial.

Do you get why we call you nazis now?

“The administration’s position is (1) that it can send US citizen prisoners to El Salvador’s torture chamber; (2) that even an American citizen accused of no crime wrongly sent to El Salvador has no remedy in court. It is hard to imagine a more authoritarian position.”

And tf still carries a *checkbook* in their purse?! Is she 80??

Democrats Land in El Salvador, Seeking Release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia The visit comes on the heels of a trip by Senator Chris Van Hollen, who met last week with the deported man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

Four Democratic lawmakers have arrived in El Salvador, where they intend to continue pressing for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongly deported by the Trump administration to a prison in the Central American country.

Pete Hegseth in March: “Under the previous administration, we looked like fools. Not anymore”

#SignalGate #SignalChat

Apparently the time is now, if you’re not white. It’s disgusting. “Land of the free” has never been true, but the lie of it is on full display now.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.

And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

This is the same perverse Nazi logic that led Hans Asperger to distinguish between Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: those children who would be killed and those who would be used. Don't get bogged down in arguments about ability or humanity. These are overtures to genocide.

#Handwoven tea towels. My first real #weaving project since my very first in 2012! Washed/ wet finishing made all the difference! I love how much this yarn changed. (Valley Yarns 8/2 cotton)

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Right now, child labor laws are under siege in red states like Florida, where mass deportations of immigrant workers have created a labor shortage. Legislation advancing through the Republican-controlled state Senate threatens to dismantle essential protections for teenage workers. This alarming bill would allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts - even on school nights - without necessary breaks, effectively positioning them to fill the void left in agriculture and hospitality industries.
