Making Craftivism & calling my representatives everyday to speak against fascist ideology.
Not traditional, but who says the revolution can't be fashionable?

This is a modified pattern from @fiberspider on YouTube. You should check out his tutorials.

'Entirety' of East Wing to be 'modernized' to build Trump ballroom: White House official Construction continues at the White House to make way for Trump's ballroom project, but the renovation is far more extensive than the president originally let on.

This is criminal.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Trump thinks his rule is absolute.

But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption.

We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. πŸ‘‡

Column | Erasing this indelible image of slavery is a terrifying idea The Trump administration’s reported effort to censor one of the iconic images of American history is a five-alarm fire.

Powerful essay by @philipkennicott.bsky.social on the "five-alarm" possibility that this iconic photo, a historic driver of moral outrage against slavery, could be censored by the Trump administration. Gift link 🎁 wapo.st/4nDMgcA

Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging An emergency order removes protections covering over half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service as the president aims to boost timber production.

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". πŸ™„

Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.

Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

My cat is prone, neigh death in the bathroom floor, betrayed only by his tail as he hears the food hit the still one-third-full bowl.
Yet, after 5 hours of work trying to wake me to feed him last night, this performance of a starving panther in a wasteland feels over the top, disingenuous. ⭐⭐/

A month ago, Trump was at the height of his power and popularity.

Today, Trump is facing mounting backlash and Republicans are hiding from constituents.
