Alright, listen up! The future of this country depends on THREE key House seats still up for grabs. Two Florida seats (FL-1 & FL-6) + One New York seat (NY-21). If Democrats take them, they can slam the brakes on Project 2025 and the GOP’s takeover.

DON’T. FUCK. THIS. UP.
You see what’s at stake!

My masters degree might be collecting dust somewhere in my parents’ house but I swear I will never stfu about the actual history of our country and the need for these programs, as both a woman and a one-time historian.

It’s impossible for regular people to avoid every shady source all the time, but taking part in these targeted (excuse the pun) boycotts is really important AND effective. I experienced it firsthand working at a giant coffee chain.

A take as old as time, and one I deeply wish we could stop telling.
The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

I’m making teapots for the first time and not to be dramatic but I’m going to throw myself in the lake.

This is not an ADHD friendly pottery project. SO MANY STEPS, NO DOPAMINE. -35/10 do not recommend.

If you are looking for people who are fighting back against the Trump administration—I’ve seen people say that there is a dearth of fighting back, and I agree that I’m unhappy with the amount there is—one of the places to look is who is filing the lawsuits to directly challenge his orders.

Tried watching the Big Fat Quiz of 2024 with my parents and my father thought that Jimmy Carr was AI.

I’m still not sure he believes me that he’s real and not some kind of elaborate prank.

On a lighter note (because this has been the longest week of all recorded history and I need a distraction from seriousness)…

Which historical figures are unduly hot?

Behold, a young Frederick Douglass!

All the sci-fi, fantasy, and post-apocalyptic teen fictions in the world did not prepare me for the idea that the rise of evil would be so fucking EMBARRASSING.
ICE says it is conducting "enhanced" immigration operations in Chicago today.

"Border czar" Tom Homan, a top DOJ official and................................. Dr. Phil.... are here to participate.

Target is the only place that sells affordable and decent quality fruit nearby. JOKES ON YOU TARGET, FRUIT IS GROSS.

The boycott stands.

So does the Sophie scarf have bluesky knitters in a chokehold like it did on TikTok?

I’m relearning how to knit and I will probably make 400 more of these. Perfect stash buster.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Literally JUST occurred to me that my Republican dad could get deported if the end birthright citizenship. And my immigrant mom only gets sworn in next week.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Could we possibly get Trump to claim he’s prettier than one of the Greek goddesses? Just spitballing here…

The passport page about changing your gender marker is now down.

I'm expecting trans people's passports to be a major battleground of this administration.

Stole this from Reddit (who stole it from tumblr). Maybe apocryphal but the point stands true:

“Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can.”

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
