Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

@altnasa.bsky.social you might want to take down the links in you bio. Your site is inaccessible.

For far too long this country has been a laughingstock for our vast forests and their utter lack of parking spots. No longer.

We will be lucky if all they do is censor us.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

“Not at all” For people out here believing Homan is some sort of savior, and acting like anything anyone in this regime says can be counted on

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back. The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant. The agents committed murder. It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

This gives me hope and made me smile. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #knitsky #knitting #politics #crochet

I am crying. There is hope.

Getting election results and humming... “And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may think it's a movement.” We have ourselves a movement. #election

LGBTQ people and our history will never be erased, and the lives taken at Pulse will never be forgotten.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

I stand with Texas Representative Nicole Collier. This 12-year-old kid is spitting knowledge 💥

The reality of how bad slavery was is not about “woke” ideation. It’s about finding your humanity and knowing that no one deserves to be owned, sold or enslaved. We should not be talking about slavery in 2025.

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

"So, no, the BLS is not incompetent, and it does not have an easy job at all. The reasons for revisions are incredibly boring and technical and have nothing to do with politics or ideology. Or at least they didn’t, until the president fired the BLS commish because he didn’t like the jobs numbers."

Also, #showmeyourknits, I’m making Labubu clothes my GrandBubu. As my grown daughter says, “They’re cheaper than real kids.” Truth. And knitting for them takes less yarn.

Happy birthday #showmeyourknits You have brought me much joy and inspiration. Here’s my most recent FO. Mothman socks using motifs from Jamie Lomax’s Cryptid doodles just published on Ravelry. Also I’m kindergeek there and insta if you want to deeper dive some projects.

So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people… This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain. It’s deadly.

Before long it will be a tourist attraction…

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

A reminder that it was a fight over a big, beautiful flagpole at one of his properties that led to Trump sitting down with Stephen Colbert and admitting he didn't know what the 13 stripes represented.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

@hartmannreport.com www.snopes.com/news/2025/06... It’s BS. We need to quit falling for crap like this.

Listening to Karen Bass’s press conference right now and I have one thing to say… youtu.be/KcADqxnQA_4?...

"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-good-f...

In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Bukele shook hands in the Oval Office to celebrate a deal to ship gang members to the notorious CECOT prison. But a new ProPublica investigation found there’s more to the story. 🧵👇

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

“Four dead in O-hio…”

It should be like Oslo in America #PrideMonth

Stop sugarcoating the unhinged actions of that immature, mentally unstable, reckless clown in the Oval Office.

#ShowMeYourKnits WIP Vanilla Kite Heel Socks by Céline Feyten (Ravelry). First time trying this heel. Very thorough pattern! Sock yarn from stash (no clue) but it’s very splitty. Heel fits really well and was fun to knit. Making them shorty to push me to finish the pair. 🧶🧦🧦 #knitting #knits

#showmeyourknits #purple I am not a purple person but a couple of years ago I knit my then 93 year old mama a very soft keyhole scarf. She still has it and wears it occasionally. 🧶#knitting #knit

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Share online and by word of mouth. This is insane

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Judge Luttig sums up the situation.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!
