Spent my morning in a Sew Squad workshop learning to make a scrappy star with @libselliott.com. I had so much fun digging through my scraps.

The fact that they were using Signal to avoid FOIA requests needs to be talked about more.

Local libraries are a haven for Michiganders from all walks of life. But to Trump, they're just one more thing to slash and burn so he can justify handing a $4.5 trillion tax break to his pals like Elon Musk. This doesn't make America great.
Michigan libraries prepare for impact as Trump moves to eliminate federal library agency
There are nearly 1,300 libraries across the state of Michigan. Last year, they received almost $4.8 million from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.

RFK's reckless stance on vaccines puts lives in danger.
I’m asking him a simple question: will he change course and encourage parents to vaccinate their kids against measles — yes or no?
A child in Texas died from measles, the first death in a decade. It should be an easy yes.

Finished my first trucker hat. I've been rage sewing a lot lately. It helps me to process. Pattern from Rose City Designs. I used the Accuquilt die designed by Rose City Designs to cut out the pieces.

Are people finally waking up?
The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.
