I love making costumes from the 19th and 20th centuries, growing my own flowers, veggies, and fruit, and standing up for social and economic justice—because creativity and resistance go hand in hand.

Happy Juneteenth!
Strawberries remind us that resilience is rooted in our connections with one another, and that true freedom exists only when it is shared by all.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

In-person protests—with their noise, limited seating, and unmasked crowds—can be inaccessible to disabled people.
While some may grimace at using Zoom for social activities, for many chronically ill and disabled people, having the platform continue to be available is a relief.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.
