Thank you!! The weekend protests definitely helped me, but as spring activities for my kids have started, and as an artist that has shows on major protest weekends, it's been difficult. I'm definitely going to reach out to local groups tomorrow!!!

If you're feeling hopeless, please know that millions of people are organizing and fighting back. The best cure for despair is to act, even if you don't feel like it. Engage in some behavioral activation and go to a town hall, a grassroots meeting. Get moving, take action, the hope will follow.

Wow,... literally been feeling the despair all weekend. I'm feeling unsafe in general and not sure who in my neighborhood is "safe". It's exhausting.

Ew

This is fantastic!

🤣🤣 Video Dropping shortly

Why is this the only platform I'm seeing this content. This is not ok! What's happening in the US, is not ok! What is happening to Ukraine is not OK!! Common denominator?? USA, we need to check ourselves.

🚨BREAKING: Israeli forces have reportedly struck the second floor of the emergency building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. California-based Dr. Feroze Sidhwa who is currently volunteering at the hospital has also shared footage from the hospital (see below).

So excited to see the growth everyone has!!! 🥳

Trump pays for his Tesla WITH A CHECK, says he doesn't like "modern system" of banking

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Please.

Perfect example of the exact reason so many people are responding to the annoucement of the hit of UnitedHealths CEO with a laugh emoji.

Yep! That's why I'm being more vocal everywhere. I know I'm in a way making myself a bigger target that way, but I am 'safer' than they are. I have many friends leaving our red state for a blue one, which I understand. Thank you for your suggestions, they have done those things.

I do understand that. Some will be affected more than others.

This is so gross. I severely worry for my friends who fall into any category this nightmare administration will be targeting.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

If you aren't going to bed next to a person, what parts said person has under their garments does NOT affect you!! Trans people just want to live their life and make decisions for themselves, yet the right wants to cry they are the problem? Look in the mirror and get real! #transrights

A conservative man didn’t get his way, so he declared martial law and it took an entire body of politicians to talk him down off the ledge while the world watched.

But tell me more about how women have periods so they are emotional liabilities in executive positions.

The devastation that so many of us felt after the election is something I don't want to feel again. Yet it seems like the party doesn't know how to learn from past mistakes. @sanders.senate.gov is one of the few politicians who have a grasp, IMO. #whatwentwrong #democracy #greatergood

This is absolutely true!! It will be chaos.

I'd love to see more about what the average person can do to ensure we come out of this with a stronger, more intelligent party. 💙

I think this is absolutely wonderful. As someone who follows politics more and more every year after this election, I found the only hope for the future within my own determination to show up.

I am not willing to run, but I will happily support rural progressive candidates!

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Vacation spots for the next 4 years..

Not sure who created this image,... but it's my new vacation map! #bluestates #vacation

If you truly want to protect women, ask your male counterparts why women can’t even take a jog in daylight hours without the threat of violence?

Use your social media posts to educate ppl on the dangers men pose to women.

IDGAF if trans women play sports, are my daughters safe from YOU?

Just sharing one of my favorite pieces I've made. When this platter sells I will have to give it a goodbye hug. So many milestones in my pottery journey this year. #pottery #madskills #iowaartist #handmadepottery

Thank you!

That's amazing!! Congrats!!
