It’s been quite a week, amirite? Tariffs,terrible job numbers, red states gerrymandering House majorities, Trump adding a gilded ballroom to the White House, the likely pardon of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, etc. Practice some self care today - then get back to resisting tomorrow!

Have a wonderful Sunday and remember….

Wait, Trump lied?

Of course I’ve been madly crocheting baby blankets for my new granddaughter. This one is my fav.

From the official White House Twitter account. They are saying the quiet part out loud. We have a President who is openly celebrating and pursuing retribution against his political enemies while the GOP majority in Congress sits by and lets it happen. We HAVE to take back the House and the Senate!

The depositions on this lawsuit are gonna be LIT!

Many who will lose their health coverage likely don’t know it, because their state calls Medicaid by a different name. Here is a list of the name each state uses for its Medicaid program.

This is what our government is doing in our name. This is a real post, gleefully celebrating unimaginable and likely illegal treatment of detainees. The tent camp rapidly built in the middle of the Everglades, in summer heat, for detainees given no due process. Get fired up for the 2026 midterms.

Things that nobody can truthfully say:

My sign for tomorrow’s No Kings protest. Too subtle?
