When Power Overreaches: The Gut Feeling That America Is Starting to Push Back
I admit I've made some bad predictions...but maybe not this time. Or maybe
The ICE raids, the Guard deployments, the fear — it’s all real.
But I can’t shake the feeling that Trump pushed too far too fast.
People are waking up. Judges are pushing back.
Maybe this isn’t the end of democracy — maybe it’s the moment it remembers to fight back.

No Kings Day is almost here.
The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.
But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Unable to fight off an angry crowd of US citizens, Trump regime ICE forces threatened lethal force; attacked civilians with a van outside San Francisco’s immigration court, running over at least one woman. This is the most violent clash with ICE so far as tensions nationwide escalate. #3E #StopICE

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?
Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?
Our broken legislature?
Our corrupt SCOTUS?
Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate.
But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Infographic on 'Autogenocide', illustrating factors like lack of healthcare, poverty, and toxic environment leading to self-inflicted harm.
It's called autogenocide, the goal is to coerce a population into killing themselves and/ or die by design. When MAGA and Trump strip people of their healthcare or safety nets, they aren't thinking about saving money they're thinking about how many of us they can exterminate. #3E #EndAutogenocide

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

I forgive all of you for the foibles of being human. Now get me off this cross because we all need the wood.

I must be regressing into my childhood because it cracks me up wherever I find Yort staring into the wilderness. Such hope for a new day, play with me. Off to the gym, play later.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️

Woke up bright and early, listening to the news I just can't fathom and believe the evil I see. Never in my lifetime did I imagine a world turned inside out and upside down.

Everyone in this house has a cold today. I think I might be on the mend. This marionette journey certainly slows one down to become and to create no matter how long it takes. I'm working on carving hands today, if the weather would just warm up. No fun freezing in my shed studio. #puppets

Oy vey, my laptop is giving me grief and another atmospheric river is shutting down my puppet space. It's ok as I have a bunch of frog projects to keep me busy for a couple days.

Many wonderful creations happening in my studio. I've begun teaching myself sewing on a machine and wood carving. Currently working on carving a head. #Marionette
