This! This! This! I refuse to fund tyranny. Defund the states? Fine, defund the federal government.

The major problem here? Half the country doesnβt know whatβs being done. Their βnewsβ sources donβt tell them. 1 thing pro-democracy PACs can do RIGHT NOW is create commercials, aired on F*X & local TV stations in red states, starkly telling the truth. Like, verifiable facts. Please share this.

Instead of delivering support & services to the American people, and working to keep us safe, safely fed, with all of the services the Fed govβt. is responsible for, 47 spends his time taking a wrecking ball to vital agencies (like the FAA) by purging them of women, people of color, and LGBTQ.

?s I would be asking 47 right now: 1. Who was the individual acting as chief of the FAA on Jan. 30? 2. Were any of the principles involved in the crash, i.e. the air traffic controller, the helicopter crew chief, or the AA pilot women, people of color, or anything other than cisgender white men?

Today is a "one step at a time" kind of day. One step forward is still progress.

Yes! Absolutely! Level up your queerness!!!
If you're in Illinois, you're on Section 8, and your landlord tries to evict you because of the government funding freeze, email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. My cases are pay-whatever-you-can.
Not selling just yet. Making inventory for an upcoming vendor fair.

Today: 2000 words written, 11 sapphic bookmarks prepped for carving, watched the Equality Illinois webinar clarifying the impact of the executive orders vs. protections we have in IL. I'm proud that I hit my marks on my personal projects and didn't just collapse after work πͺπ₯°!
Me!
I loved this book! One of my favorites of the season! It gave me all the feels ππ₯°! You are so talented.

I love @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social site and all their outreach. For those who love sapphic fiction and donβt follow them, check them out! #sapphic #wlwbooks #MN #MNauthors
@mandyolivieri.bsky.social Just bought your book. Can't wait to read it!
Yeah, that's what I'm hearing too. The encouraging thing is the school followed the same protocol that all 600+ CPS schools have been directed to use. No access. Lawyers on speed dial.
This is my district and all schools have been given the same directives. We protect our students.
Yes! Fellow educator here!
What's the spice level?
When do we decide that the federal taxes we pay be redirected to our own state or elsewhere? I'm not funding a dictatorship.
This is my district and the educators are ready to fight.
I'm loving how this turned out. More on the way!
Sapphic Bookmark Prototype #2. Any thoughts or suggestions? My plan is to use different wood species and try to represent diverse body types.
Proud of my district, but the fight is just beginning.
