Week after devastating week, @moiradonegan.bsky.social articulates rigorously and with moral clarity what it means for the U.S. to be enduring this perilous and violent moment. Her column on Charlie Kirk is a breath of sanity after days of deranged eulogy.

Fighting Back: A Citizen’s Guide to Resistance Ordinary people have more power than they know.

The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

Alt Text: A digital flyer with a dark red background promotes the "Save Our Services: LET US WORK Mass Call" event. The main text is in bold white and light blue, with "LET US WORK" in large, uppercase white letters and "MASS CALL" in bold outlined text. Below, the flyer highlights four featured speakers with circular headshots: Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), Robert Reich (Former Secretary of Labor & Co-Founder of Inequality Media), Liz Shuler (President, AFL-CIO), and Maurice Mitchell (National Director, Working Families Party). The event is scheduled for Thursday, March 13th at 8PM ET / 5PM PT, with a call to action in bold: "Register: bit.ly/march13RSVP." On the left side, logos of supporting organizations are stacked vertically, including the Federal Unionists Network (FUN), AFL-CIO, American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), Working Families Party (WFP), and MoveOn. At the bottom, white text reads "+ more!!" indicating additional speakers. The flyer visually emphasizes urgency and collective action against federal worker layoffs.

🚨 Trump and Musk want to fire federal workers, gut public services, and hand our government to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen.

📢 Join us this Thursday at 8PM ET for a mass call to hear how we fight back—together.

#igquiltfest2025 - my first quilt made in 1976! #quiltsky

A baby quilt - pieced by amazing career and tech education teachers - quilting and binding by me (their old boss!) it’s for one of their colleagues due soon #quilting #teamwork

Have you made this quilt pattern before? If not, here are a few suggestions based on my "mistakes" -- iron the seams on your strip sets open (reduces bulk in your diamonds), double check the direction of your diagonal cuts when cutting out your background fabric. Have fun!

Well I can't take credit for the colors -- I just bought an Alison Glass fabric bundle a while ago and used that! But I love the colors also!

This is an almost finished #luminaryquilt top - not as hard to make as it looks but I still found it very challenging #quiltersofbluesky #quiltingthroughthechaos

Done

WOW!
