Anyone interested in buying some jewelry? The bracelets shown have already been sold, but are an example of what I can make. I can also make earrings, necklaces, melty bead and crochet items to order, as well as create personalized business cards. DM for more info ❤️

Fuck you, pigs! Seriously! You can't complain about violent crowds when you BRING the violence!
And those of you claiming the protestors started the violence, I bring you this to ponder: If protestors came with the intent of being violent, why didn't they bring weapons?

In all of this nightmare hellscape, let me share some truly wholesome, nerdy, family fun times. I read this and just smiled because this is how it should be. Embrace your children's creativity, interests and eagerness to learn and participate. #ThisIsLove
For the last year, Zooey has been running a D&D campaign for me and our 9 year old son.
The premise is when kids turn 9, they go on their first adventure with their mom.
And I have to say it has been some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing D&D.

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Not for nothing, but Direct File by the IRS was one of the best things the USG has done in years — it allowed millions of Americans to stop paying predatory fees to TurboTax. The literal only people who oppose it are TurboTax lobbyists.

Here's hoping he (and others) stick by this in the coming shit storm.
Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

The coup is happening, and we're allowing it while we're watching in real time. We have a chance to stop this, but we have to force our government to do their jobs (representing their constituents not their own interests), and refused to back down as citizens #StandUp #MuskIsGoering #TrumpIsHitler

I am not at all surprised by any of this. There is nothing that anyone can say to me at this point to convince me that this man is anything but evil incarnate. He knows what he's doing and he's reveling in it as idiots like #M4L argue that he's a "great man!"
DeSantis's administration paid doctors tens of thousands of dollars to endorse restrictions on trans adults' health care and gave raises to state employees who went along with it, according to new documents unveiled in court.
