Hot mess SAHM with a penchant for crafts, voracious reading, and making the world a better place.
Feeling alone in ways that I haven't since 1999. When the threads of family have been broken by death and distance, when others are cut in judgment and recriminations...
Where could I drift next? What port would have me?

I finally put on my big Girl panties and used @5calls.org to call my elected officials about HR1. I left voice-mail on my senators' local number. It was so easy. These scripts are a huge security blanket while tackling one piece of my civic duty.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

I got suckered by a Fb ad to buy a mini watercolor set that I had been eyeing for at least a year. They came yesterday. I look forward to getting back to #WatercolorWednesdays

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

I am really tired of being useful but not mattering...of getting obligatory afterthought "thanks" instead of any real expression of appreciation.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Many voters today feel disengaged from politics, but apathy is not an option.
Building an inclusive, multiracial democracy requires active participation from people, who believe in the power of collective action. Every year is an election year — stay involved and engaged! #VotingRights

This is not waste-cutting...it's partisan and it's about trying to turn our democracy into a profit machine for a few megalomaniacs
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
