I send solidarity to all the overworked & underpaid masses who were passed over for jobs & promotions you were the right person for. And for the rest of us too as our country is being run by corrupt incompetent knobs.

SO sorry I missed this. Will try to be at one of these in the future.❤️

#TrumpTariffs are nothing but a grift and a scam. Seeing as even SCOTUS has now declared them illegal, I'd sure like the $400 in tariffs back that I paid for my chainstitch machines THAT ARE NOT EVEN MADE ANYWHERE IN THE USA, please and thank you, Uncle Sam. Micro biz owner here, and those hurt.

The dildo protest was particularly spectacular, and the post about it on FB was the most I've cackled in months.

What a shame they didn't have 3d printers back then.. a device like the end of a bike pump.. same Schrader valve that attaches to the valvestem and then you just leave it on and walk away. No permanent damage, but tire's now totally flat.

Big Tech will suppress this on every platform because it's so brilliant and so true... but Ima post it anyway...

So this coat sold yesterday and now I feel like I need to make one in the colors of the Venezuelan flag. I have loved ones that are undocumented and I have no problem putting my body in between them and the pinche Migra Gestapo Nazis.

Do you need a loud, frustrated but non-violent mob? Tell us the day/time and we are THERE. I’ll come up from Colo Spgs.

Offended that my tax dollars are being used for this stupid nonsense.
#TaxpayersDemandingDueProcess

From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered.

Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance.

This wins the internet AND a follow.

Also I think my grandfather, who served in the 753rd tank battalion in WWII just popped his head up out of the grave to cackle.

This happens every single time. Straight out of the authoritarian playbook and used in the US for decades. The right will deliberately create violence at these protests to make the left look bad and turn the country against protesters. IDK the solution, but don't play into this.

/2 Also take a cue from the smart folks at Improv Everywhere who are AMAZING at organizing flash mobs..

-Have secret nearby filmers.. because you KNOW they lie about protestors.

-While we are sincere... introduce absurdity, mockery and humor.

Be well, be peaceful and resist safely.💙 ✊

Tiny, tiny favor? 🥺🙏

Before they find a way to take down this site (and I'm sure they will, that's how dictators do) please spread the word... we should all be familiar with these techniques, especially now.

Using art to push back against invading dictators. This is Vorozhyla, named for a beautiful, haunting song sung by Ukranian singer Kateryna Pavlenko (Monokate).

We were at Broadway/Colorado. If you were one of the tons of folks that honked and waved, THANK YOU!!

I'll post some amazing fiber art inspired by Ukraine tomorrow. For today, this. Very much this. Thank you Denver!!

Today at a Foreign Affairs Committee briefing on USAID I asked Trump's head of USAID Pete Marocco, as the overseer of democracy and free elections programming globally, whether he was at the Capitol on January 6th.

He refused to say no.

*You're* incredible...the interest in art AND science wins a follow... I find the coolest people on here. Such a breath of fresh air from the hatescape that is now Xitter.😌

I hope LinkedIn notices that the minute they recommended I follow Ramaswamy was a big fat UNSUBSCRIBE.

Lists is really one of the best features of Bluesky. I love that I can add all sorts of fiber artists to my list, click on that, and have a custom feed full of ART. 😁 In a chaotic world, it's just good for the soul. 😊

I'm making.. a list of fiber artists whose works I want to see & you're on it.

Ok, here is an actual make. This is "Bounds of the Universe", made from machine-felted upcycled cashmere sweaters, mixed with fleece for visual flare, embroidered and embellished w/hand sequinwork. Because #recycling💜

@localliberal.bsky.social has done a lot of work organizing businesses that want to resist the tRump regime and support diversity, civil rights, the environment, etc. I've started a list here.. if you come across additional ones, please screenshot/tag me so I can add them.

bsky.app/profile/pers...

I admire her SOOOOOO much.

I'm scared too. Dusting off Bluesky and creating a curated list of pro-democracy, pro-civil rights entrepreneurs, businesses and artists/artisans, and you're on it.

We need to keep going. Art is one of the best forms of resistance.

I see you. 🤗💙

If people/businesses want to reply here, I'll happily add them to my curated follow list.

Follow lists and moderation lists are by far the best function here on Bluesky. 🙂

SAME 😒

@drmariokart.bsky.social another one for your MAGA block list...

This report is especially notable because it seems that, just hours before it was published, Treasury Secretary Bessent lied to GOP members of the House Financial Services Committee about this exact issue.

(And props to @murray.senate.gov for calling BS on it.)
