“Her lawyer’s in the bathroom.”

Trump’s masked ICE Gestapo snatches a woman when her lawyer goes to the bathroom, then forcibly carries her into an elevator after she appears to faint.

I just finished @jchiaverini.bsky.social Jennifer Chiaverini's book "Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker" and felt compelled to look up the quilt mentioned in later chapters made from leftover scraps from Mrs. Lincoln's dresses.

New — Institute of Museum and Library Sciences employees were allowed back in the building this morning to gather belongings after all being put on admin leave by DOGE yesterday. Supporters have gathered in front of the building and staffers inside have posted a visible sign that says "SOS IMLS."

As I've said before, the obvious becomes obvious when it's obvious. The United States government today is obviously a fascist state. There are no nuances to that assessment. No way to parse this or that action. It is all fascism all the time in every way.
"I don't care what the judges think" seems like the kind of statement that would piss off a judge
Homan: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.

His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.

Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

I propose that we pronounce “DOGE” as “Doogie” /do͞o͞’ ɡē/, even though, unlike their namesake, these Doogie Howsers of government are evil and far less competent.

Thank you, Janet Mills.

This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

The cover art for A QUILTER'S HOLIDAY is probably my favorite of all the Elm Creek Quilts novels. It's a digital adaptation of the quilt "Thankful Harvest" by Janet Miller, perfectly suited for the story and the season. www.jenniferchiaverini.com/book/a-quilt...
