Timeline Cleanse… Friday rainbows!
Here’s a couple of sapphire suites I put together, with some alternates for choosing from. I’m unreasonably delighted with these bright colors! 🌈
Custom ring design in progress, with a scatter pattern for the stones. What would YOU want to make with these? 😁

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Cherry Kinoshita was incarcerated at Puyallup and Minidoka during WWII, and went on to become a JACL leader. In this clip, she describes the very first #DayOfRemembrance in 1978 when 2,200 people caravanned from Seattle to the site of the Puyallup Assembly Center.

The only ones mad about people knowing their rights are people who were planning on violating those rights.
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Hard-working people who do so much for our country are being threatened with arbitrary layoffs because of the whims of the richest man in the world.

INCLUDING nuclear safety engineers at Hanford. How does that leave anyone better off?

Senate Dems filibuster Vought. They’ve been at it all night.
Vought’s goals are not secret, nor are they subtle—we do not have to decipher anything here. He's going to break laws, cut programs that help Americans, and funnel all that money to billionaires. I'm voting NO.

This is so insanely upsetting. We could be getting a vaccine for HIV, we’re so close, but instead we’ve got a billionaire with an inferiority complex running around breaking things.
Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.
