#NoKings disability justice zoom for folks who can’t attend in the streets.

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith
which is a dangerous assumption tbh

Those are awesome!

Judie Yates made this fun, and award winning, quilt that is perfect for October! This is the "Happy Halloween" pattern by Amy Bradley. Judie mentioned using some techniques that I had never heard of before, so I have some "learn'ng" to do!
She used: Snapplique & Embrilliance.

ICE amps up its surveillance powers, targeting immigrants and antifa Iris scanners, facial recognition apps, phone-hacking software and cellphone location data are among the agency’s recent technological purchases.

Their aspirations are totalitarian. As horrifying as the immediate fascist project of racist terror against nonwhite immigrants is, all political opposition are “antifa”, and they want to surveil and arrest all of us.

Our aspirations have to be correspondingly big: abolish ICE…\1

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Pope Leo understands that poverty is not a choice or a personal failing.

It’s not a reflection on the individual.

It’s a systemic failure.

Wealth inequality is at an all time high and social supports are beyond inadequate.

We can provide for everyone, and it’s time we start.

DONT MESS WITH THE TEXAS RAINBOW- Sunday 10/19 At 12P Taft & Westheimer HANDS OFF OUR CROSSWALK! STOP ABBOTT'S ATTACK ON MONTROSE'S LEGACY

Friends of the Boulevard, a Houston pedestrian advocacy group, is having a protest against the removal of the Montrose rainbow crosswalk on Sunday:

An IMMEDIATE block.

Go to you local No Kings rally this Saturday, 10/18! - gregpak.net I frequently say you don’t need to protest to make a difference in 2025. You don’t! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn’t … Continue reading Go to you local No ...

Thinking about No Kings? Here's my pitch for going! See ya Saturday!

Hitler Has Entered the Chat... and JD Vance and the Republicans are Happy to See Him. Well, in case you weren’t keeping track, we’re in the “Nazis are fine” portion of Republican Americans’ moral collapse.

In response to the Young Republicans’ vile, violent, dehumanizing texts, cosplaying Christian Vice President JD Vance, in the kind of gutless cowardice he has become fluent in, took to social media to dismiss it all as “Nazi boys being boys.”

‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but saying "Going to No Kings won't stop fascism!" also won't stop fascism.

But I think the chance of more better outcomes is significantly greater going to a protest than getting mad at people for going to a protest.

That’s bananas.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

😮 A bargain!

Yes my back always complains when I'm sandwiching a quilt together. I have some nice boards I place on my bed so I can do it there, but it still leaves me stiff after

American Egyptian Lotus Blossom quilt made by Margaret Conner Rush in Union County ca. 1850. Arkansas.

Alt text written by A.I. A handmade quilt top called Alaska designed by Laundry Basket Quilts, pieced by DeeDee Maker. The quilt features intricate eight-pointed star and diamond patterns in rich shades of gold, brown, and cream, arranged in a symmetrical layout. A narrow dark inner border and a mottled golden outer border frame the luminous design, giving it a warm, autumnal glow.

My interpretation of the "Alaska" quilt pattern by "Laundry Basket Quilts". All fabrics from my stash. I've had the pattern for several years now so I'm pretty stoked that I finally put it together 😁

Really pretty.
