A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

(between images of a map showing the nearly 3,000 No Kings Day events planned for March 28) NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.

We’re rapidly approaching 3,000 No Kings Day events, which means March 28 is going to be the biggest protest in US history. Let’s make it clear that America rejects the regime’s brutality at home and abroad: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Congratulations to New Hampshire Democrat, Bobbi Boudman! 🗳

She won her special election in the State House - District 7 - by 51%! 🎯

Even though just 16 months ago, she lost this same district when they voted Republican by 13 points.

That's a 16-point swing! 🔥

Got home early from work thinking storms were starting between 2 and 5. Six hours later I just heard the first thunder. We've been lucky so far. Also straightened up the basement in case we need to sleep down there tonight. ⛈️🌩⚡️

International Women’s Day may have ended, but the work absolutely hasn’t 👏
 
Yesterday, players wore 23 as a reminder that when women are given less, we have a chance to step up and offer more. Honor the momentum by donating $23 to help girls get in the game.

Gas prices in Illinois went up by nearly $0.48 just last week thanks to Donald Trump’s war in the Middle East.

You’re paying more while the President spends billions to put American men and women in harm’s way.

A graphic reads, "Divest from big tech, and reinvest in community." Beneath this header, there are two photos of a bookshop—one of bookshelves, one of the outside of the shop—with a filter that slightly washes them out. Arrows point to the photos beside text that reads "Blue Willow Bookshop, est. 1996."

Friends, we know many of you are looking for an alternative to Am@zon's Audible.

Art quilt of Justice Sotomayor by Linda Diak. Black background, black hair with gold and silver highlights in the curls, brown glasses, gold earrings, tan suit, black collar.

Happy International Women's Day

My quilt of Justice Sotomayor will be raffled off in April to benefit the Chester (Vermont) Town Democratic Committee. Outside money has been pouring into Vermont the last couple election cycles in order to turn Vermont red. We need to keep VT blue! Watch this space.

I did that pattern as well, had some tartan fabric samples from a shop in Scotland. I also accidentally made one cow squinty. It needs quilting but you're correct, it's a long project.

'Twas a Banner Day for Peoria 50501's Banner Brigade! The bridge over I-74 on Nebraska Ave between University & Sterling was a perfect staging area to promote No Kings 3.0 & our love of democracy. Streams of passers-by in cars & trucks got the message, many honking their support for our noble cause.

The @uaw.org members at Conn-Selmer make the last USA-made brass instruments. But the company chose greed over this great American institution, and is planning to close the plant, threatening 150 good union jobs.

Sign the petition and save Conn-Selmer!

Illinois Democrats protested, exposed her for her crimes, and made sure she felt the pressure in Congress every step of the way.

But it’s far from over. The Trump Administration still needs to answer for the damage they caused and the lives lost.

We’re not backing down.

Listening to #AGhastlyCatastrophe the last 2 days on my commute. Literally burst out laughing twice. "He's upset about the walrus" and "beekeeping or casual prostitution". Thank you @deannaraybourn.bsky.social for these moments of levity in our dark world. Also Angéle Masters is amazing.
