My three year old asked why I didn’t draw a colorful picture of her. I told her about #Comics4Liam and asked if she would draw a picture for him. She immediately got to work drawing Spider-Man for her new friend in Minnesota. comixaction.com/comics4liam/

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"
BREAKING from PP
We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*
The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:
Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer
More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Thank goodness we live in a democracy that protects the right to free speech. Otherwise, an organization like Fox News could never operate. … Unless, of course, they said only the kinds of things our authoritarian leaders agreed with.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.
that fox news host still has his job.
People thought they were getting cheaper groceries but they got fascism.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Not an overstatement at all
Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

The purple wisteria at Eastman House is absolutely gorgeous right now. I loved getting to do a mom and daughter photoshoot with the blooms.
in addition to him repeating insane racist conspiracy theories, it occurs to me that the reason he has time to hold long press conferences everyday is that he doesn’t actually do anything
very clear that official policy of the united states right now is to accept any white person abroad who claims asylum status
A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.
@indivisibleroc.bsky.social @rachbarnhart.com this is what democracy looks like. I’m proud to live in a sanctuary city.
Rev Barber has been a leader in the struggle for democracy since long before Indivisible formed. Was honored to have him open up the D.C. Hands Off rally with 100k people earlier this month. When he speaks, we listen - his moral leadership is an inspiration.
I've joined Plodding for Pennies for the Global GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge to help Rochester raise money and awareness for their cause and I hope that you will consider joining my team. You'll find a link to join the team at the bottom of this message.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
Huxley is a puppy with a purpose. I met his owners at the park yesterday and found out they intend for him to be a guide dog. 💙
“Can you take a photo of us with my phone?” the mom asks. “Definitely!” I answer. “OK if also take a few with my camera?” Five minutes later, they were gone and I was wondering if I had dreamt them up. But my memory card proves they were real. And gorgeous.
So, I go to Eastman to scout a location for a photo shoot, wishing I had a better model than my frumpy husband, and … 15 seconds after I arrive, a beautiful family of five marches up to my chosen spot wearing their Easter Sunday best.
i’m getting van hollen pilled
any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office
Saw this beautiful dog at the beach and had to stop to take her picture.
weird, what could explain this
I was told these people were “free speech absolutists”
@indivisibleroc.bsky.social lady liberty won the day for me at the rally.
