It's going to be a textile applique piece using quilting and embroidery and I am excited to start layering fabrics now that everything is laid out.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

📢 Here’s the contrast:
✅ Alabama Democrats → Invest in public education, expand affordable healthcare, raise wages, protect freedoms.
❌ Alabama Republicans → Attack LGBTQ+ rights, ban DEI, restrict reproductive freedom, and push election restrictions.
Which future do you want?

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department.

Just like Bezos and Musk wished, Trump neutered the National Labor Relations Board.
Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity.
Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.
