Even small acts of defiance count.

@charliedelavida.com and I are currently in intermission at The Suffs Musical. Not only did we wear sashes for the occasion, but I made us special buttons. #suffsagainstsave #antisaveact

I've been avoiding posting for my own sanity but with the Dems deciding to cave, which they always do, when they are in a position of strength... Seriously, every traitorous one of them who votes for this can fuck right off into the sun.

Call them. Tell them not to surrender.

Charlie Kirk was a monster. Nobody deserves to be murdered like that, not even a shit-bag like him. That said, evidently pointing out that he was a psychotic, dipshit, racist, misogynistic asshole isn't something we're supposed to say. Oops... I guess I forgot to recharge my woke empathy.

Nothing but hatred, stupidity, and fear from these Nazi fucks.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

And most Americans probably still have no idea that this has happened...

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

This is cruelty and hatred on par with the Nazis. Anyone saying otherwise is probably also a Nazi.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

SCOTUS just made a horrifying decision in terms of Planned Parenthood, simply because the GOP can't get their heads out of women's uteruses. This decision will have dire consequences, especially for low-income patients.

Keeping our library up and running takes a lot of time, dedication, and money, but it's worth it to (in our own small way) stand against the flood of censorship and ignorance that is actively trying to drown voices out. Hufflehouse.com @melissadelavida.com

On Saturday, we did an overdue cleaning of the library. We removed all books and wiped down the shelves with soap & water. We also touched up the paint on the outside and sprayed it with UV protection. We do it every year to keep the library in top shape. #libraryathufflehouse #littlefreelibrary

That sums it up all too well...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Now more than ever it's important to be an ally in any way possible. @melissadelavida.com and I are doing what we can. For reference, we're right across the street from a school, so this all gets seen by tons of people everyday. Normalize love. Ostracize hate.

We believe everyone has the right to live their best life and love whomever they choose to love. Happy Pride Month! #loveislove #happypridemonth #libraryathufflehouse #littlefreelibrary

Would someone please think of the leopards? They are going to start getting diabetes from eating so many faces...

ICE kidnapped 55/60 construction workers in a massive raid today in Tallahassee, Florida. Naturally, one of their MAGA buddies think they didn't vote for this. They did.

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

Image of library book display labeled: “It's A Warning Not An Instruction Manual.” Books on display: • On Tyranny • Twenty Lessons From The 21st Century • 1984 • A Handmaids Tale • Diary of Anne Frank • Parable of The Sower • Fahrenheit 451 • Animal Farm • Brave New World ~TAiLS of a Bookworm

They literally tell us out in the open they are doing these things and folks still, even after all this insanity, still say things like; "This is America, it can't happen here." Wake the fuck up. It's happening.

Broadway in Boston Adventure: Kimberly Akimbo. I didn't expect to be taken back to high school in New Jersey in the 90s as a Show Choir kid at a skating rink. The memories this musical is bringing forth is making me smile. @charliedelavida.com #matchinggeekycouple #broadwayinboston

There will be bans and book burnings in the near future. Didn't think so? You aren't paying attention.

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?  Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Our not-so-little free library finally has an official website (formerly it was only on the book of faces). We buy a lot of books for the community so any donations would be greatly appreciated! No pressure obviously! =) @melissadelavida.com

We have a new website! Here, you'll find information on our upcoming events, pictures from past events, and a chance to contact us or donate. Check it out. #libraryathufflehouse #littlefreelibrary www.hufflehouse.com

The President doesn’t know if he needs to uphold the Constitution. This shouldn’t be shocking because he fomented an armed insurrection. So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office. He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy. #RemoveTrump Call your reps 202-224-3121

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

"You tell them a lie, and then when you don't need it anymore you tell them another lie. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable." - Terry Pratchett: "Guards Guards"

Definitely a trap...

Melissa Delavida@melissadelavida.com

This feels like a trap. We are currently in London coming home tomorrow. The CDC is now requiring contact tracing when coming into the country. This was not a requirement in September when we went to Ireland/Scotland. Take a look at the photos. #immigrantrights

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Nakia went to the vet today, which she hates, so Shuri is comforting her. First with kisses and now just sitting with her. Shuri is such a good sister. P.S. if you play with sound, you will hear Six The Musical Live in the background. @charliedelavida.com #wakandanprincesses #catsofbluesky

Idiocracy would be a massive upgrade from our current regime. The emperor has no clothes. He's the dumbest person within 1000 miles of Washington and we're about to completely collapse on all fronts while his dipshit supporters cheer and the politicians cower in fear. In-fucking-sanity.

Please explain to me how this isn't fascism. I'll wait.

Great, just another reason for women to fear reporting an assault. So many of these snatching stories are coming to light & it's scary. Not only because citizens are being snatched without the chance to even prove citizenship & spending hours in detention before their citizenship comes to light...
