Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A 28-year-old man was brutally murdered in Florida by ICE thugs who chased him onto the path of an oncoming semi-truck. The driver of the truck stopped his vehicle and immediately attempted to aid the victim while the ICE thugs stood around, hands in vests.

In loving memory of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and countless lives stolen from us. ABOLISH ICE Poster available to download for FREE on my Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/s/c419c3fcc0 #art #digitalart #illustration #flatart #poster #politicalart #ICEout

He fought it to the Supreme Court. He lost. He’s a rapist for the rest of history.

Not me searching "how long can a body be kept alive by artificial means" after hearing the theory that Mitch McConnell is being kept alive until August 3 to force a special election instead of a November vote. A: Typically days to weeks, but as long as 100-110 days depending on brain function.

No. We already require ID when we register to vote. Getting a driver's license or state ID has become more difficult in recent years. That is sufficient. How about we ensure ALL Americans have an equal voice and equal representation? Let's get big money out of politics, ensure truth in news, etc?

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

So I did a Google search for bible quotes for baptism that don't talk down to non-believers and this is what I got. Too much to ask??

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution. This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians. The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

When the world is in the shitter, there are always Old Fruit Pictures. (But then they remind you of the loss of biodiversity. Shit. Gotdammit. SMH.)

It's weird times when I agree with the likes of MTG.

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

The chickens now have a permanent home (on the cake). They have completed their first art gallery run and will be attending the #NoKings march/rally today. (Taco and Maha have attended all major rallys simce 1/20/2025.) Might wear the quilt as a cape. #KnitSky #QuiltSky #Knit #Qulit #ArtSky

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I KNOW it’s hard to accept that democracy is gone. But the longer you count on elections, the longer everyone will suffer. We CANNOT vote our way out of authoritarianism. It’s simply FACT. We must ORGANIZE OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS to even SURVIVE this, let alone CHANGE it.

I want to embroider this birb!!

Finally complete! Not perfect, but I'm very happy with it. Over 3 meters long.

Tuna and I at the park before a hike in the woods.

This throwback to Tuna Dog days is for @JensenHatesRain. #TunaDog #GreatDane #Petunia

Had insomnia last night so got up, cut some yarn, threaded some cards, and tried out a possible trim for our men's vests for #SokiuSvente. Probably too wide and maybe not the right color. I used what I had that*might* make enough yardage for 8 vests. #juosta #weaving #cardweaving #tauts #rubai

Periodic reminder that ICE does not just track and watch immigrants. They are collecting and storing information on us all.

Every accusation is a confession.

My chickens have gone home to roost! The characters in my chicken series have a (temporary) home together at Dzanc House Gallery in Ypsilanti.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Thanks to the "Jobs President" AKA the "No War" president.

A lovely human in the healing arts recently lost everything in a fire when her dream healing space was gutted. As she rebuilds, a fellow client has started a GoFundMe to help in the process. If you're able, help is appreciated. gofund.me/d6199b126

who made this

Elaine Dorland is 86 with rods in her back, arthritis, and a torn rotator cuff, but she wakes at 4:30am each day to work as a cleaner because she has to. She recently lost her husband AND son. You can help her retire by reposting and donating a few bucks if you can. share.google/KyC5RV7xqFAW...

The final colorway. I've woven 1 meter out of about 3. I'm also including pics of how I've warped up my Inkle Loom. The absolute Game Changer is chaining each card separately rather than chaining it as one group! #SkyWeave #Weaving

You're a married woman. You're not supposed to vote. Your husband has control over your vote, dontcha know?

Countries pushing accountability over the Epstein Files ⬇️ UK, Norway, Sweden, Slovakia, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ireland Meanwhile the U.S. President is telling Americans to move on after he appears 38,000 times with dozens of friends and associates. It’s time for accountability!

A little sample of a new weaving pattern, mistakes and all. The colors aren't quite right, so I present you with the alternate colors. This is my first time using the Inkle loom for a tablet project. #SkyWeave #Weaving
