Spread this wide. Donate if you can It will help rid one DINO from the current roster. Help us remove Marie Glusenkamp Perez from WA. #democracy #bluewave
The criminal regime of the current administration must be held accountable. I am running to do that. MGP and Braun intend to continue enabling it. If you want to see oversight, I am your candidate. We must Dismantle ICE, and protect our Constitution.

The Melt the Ice hat is done and blocked but a bit small for the recipient, so I'll be making her another one, a bit taller. Not to worry, her daughter already claimed the smaller version. #knitsky

Let's be clear. For reasons only known to #MGPisGOP she chose to lose this seat and re-election. I am running to save this seat for the Democrats. There is no chance for her to survive in a General election after telling her base she does not care.
ICE must be dismantled, end of discussion!

I completely disagree. Infighting and primary challenges are what the Republicans WANT from democrats. If we dems want change, let's convince the leaders we have to change, not overturn the apple cart. Chaos only helps THEM. Being united helps US

I'm running for Congress to replace a Democrat that continually votes to fund and enable this violence. This terror squad needs to be off US streets. I will vote to #DismantleICE every time I have a chance. Watching Federal Officers kill a man in cold blood is unacceptable.
🚨 #GVerse ANOTHER ICE KILLING
#BreakingNews : A video is circulating online of #FuckICE agents appearing to EXECUTE a man on a Minnesota sidewalk who was resisting arrest.
We’re waiting for more facts but the video is terrifying.

Is Jim Jordon on cocaine? Because it seems like Jim Jordan is extremely jumpy and agitated during this committee meeting with Jack Smith. Or is that his normal demeanor?

Halfway through the 1x1 ribbing on the Melt The Ice Hat. This one already has a home. Going to an avid anti-trump, anti-ice protestor who never misses a rally. #knitsky #melttheice

I’m halfway through the snowflake cowl. I wound off some blue since I was not going to use as much yarn as the pattern called for. I don’t believe I dyed the yarn 50/50, so I don’t expect the turquoise to come in for another 10 rows or so, but I didn’t want it to end up being 90% blue. #knitsky

Called my congress member Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's today to request she vote to impeach Noem, defund ICE and impeach Trump. Said I was calling to make this specific request because I know she doesn't always vote Democrat, even though she ran as a Democrat, and that I expected her to vote as one.

I don't think I'm alone in thinking I'd much rather hear an F-bomb dropped from a government employee, than watch one murder an innocent citizen for no other reason the he felt emasculated. SMH

The "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" shawl is finished. I’m so much in love with it I’m rethinking listing it in the store. I know I should, because I’ll not wear it, but I just want to keep looking at it. Maybe in a week or so. The photos don’t even really do it justice. #knitsky #knitting
