Hello, NYC, I am in you! I will be at Knitty City tomorrow, Saturday the 8th, from 12-6pm. I’m so delighted to be doing a trunk show!! #KSQShop Knitty City is one of my favorite yarn stores anywhere—an amazing variety of yarns 🧶, and a helpful and knowledgeable staff!

"everyone will see how criminal and corrupt these people are so we don't have to make that argument ourselves" is one of the most singularly wrong pieces of conventional political wisdom in Dem circles and yet it will not die

Thugs. Jack boots.

Hell this morning has another deeply surprised soul

@governor.ca.gov Newsom has someone very talented on staff.

Peace be with you, Friends 🌱

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Governor Pritzker. This is so funny. This is how we fight The Tiny.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Can Illinois follow California's footsteps to [finally] start fighting fire with fire? robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-...

the greatest invention before sliced bread was cold cuts and mustard and mayo and a slice of cheese just laying there loose

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

Now do you get it?

Republicans are dragging us back to the days of coal and lung cancer. Meanwhile, California gets 2/3 of our power from renewable and zero-carbon sources — the largest economy on Earth to achieve this. It's time for America to follow the Golden State's lead into the future.

Today, I'm proud to be standing with Infleqtion as they double down on their commitment to grow and innovate in our state. Their utility-scale, neutral atom quantum computer will be built right here in Chicago as a tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park.

This is now officially a massive scandal with a coverup that includes the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress messagebox.substack.com/p/trumps-eps...

WATCH: “The current system is broken. Indiscriminate raids are tearing families apart and punishing hardworking people.” 1 of 3 marine sons of a landscaper viciously beaten by ICE testifies before Congress.

We also talked about the future: fighting back against tariffs and other threats from the federal government, making things easier to build, and making Washington more affordable.

NEW: Anti-abortion legal terrorist Jonathan Mitchell is helping a Texas man seeking to block his girlfriend from getting abortion pills. The suit seems intended to scare physicians out of prescribing the drugs under "shield laws" and women out of seeking abortions, said @jillwieberlens.bsky.social

Trump is gutting the police that stop corporations from looting — the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Be warned.

Great American institutions and many leaders have capitulated to the onset of fascism in America in much the same way the Vichy French did to the Nazis. No fight. No principles. A betrayal of their country. Universities. Media. Law firms. Political leaders. Clergy.

RIP Ozzy. 🕊️

Trump's press conference today, in summary: DON'T TALK ABOUT EPSTEIN! ARREST ALL MY POLITICAL OPPONENTS! I'M NOT MAD! I'M NOT GUILTY! OBAMA!

The Epstein Files Are Being Buried - Stay Loud, Stay Focused youtu.be/dI6BZs8CYlE

Scoop: A top oversight Democrat has sent a letter to Fox News demanding answers about Fox’s editing of a Trump interview from June 2024 concerning Jeffrey Epstein — an edit they say both misled the public and distorted the president’s position. Full story with @kfile.bsky.social here:

You’ve lost Ann Coulter. That’s how obvious this cover-up is.

whatever else republican house speaker mike johnson (and the congressional republicans who serve under him) ever do in this life, this headline will last forever and ever, for their whole blessed lives. (gift link, no paywall) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/u...

As they stare down a $734 million budget deficit, some Chicago Board of Education members are calling on the governor to hold a special legislative session this summer to drum up money for schools. https://trib.al/Hus7lMH

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

A rare statement from former President Obama's office regarding Trump's latest attempt to distract from Epstein

Fuck yeah Obama. Slap that filthy orange bitch upside the head.

Hi friends, it’s week 25 of #CrochetAway, the crochet prompt game inspired by #ShowMeYourKnits! This week let’s do another round of animals 🐶🐰🐿️🦊🐼🐷🧸🦔🐨🐥🦁🦙🦥 Here are two I finished recently - patterns are by @picapauyan.bsky.social 🧶 🦉 🐘

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

1/ “We got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.” @nlanard.bsky.social & @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social broke story Venezuelans sent to CECOT for innocent tattoos (like autism awareness). Now they chronicle their return: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My mental health was 1/10 yday-was struggling to hold on. If my photos or posts about mental health have ever lifted you,could you maybe like this post? I know it seems needy but I'm trying to change the narrative in my head-find some value in myself. If I've helped someone I can hold on to that x

Yes, Trump’s suing the WSJ for $10b over THAT letter. But there's also a London theater reenacting Jan 6. 🎥Eddington opens this weekend & it broke me. Go see it! And, don't lose track of what the Trump team's doing w/ our next elections. 5 headlines you may have missed & along with some inspiration.

With further developments likely on the Trump-Epstein front, Trump will ramp up efforts at distraction, demagoguery, counter-attacks against enemies (e.g. Gabbard’s fake revelation yesterday), and authoritarianism. Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.

The Romans executed tens of thousands by crucifixion, and you're just gonna assume the guy on my necklace is Jesus?
