I’m a concerned U.S. citizen who’s trying to find peace of mind through art activism, craftivism, letter writing, and more. I aim to inform and encourage others to make a difference even when anxiety and depression make me feel like I can’t do it myself.
Americans can’t afford healthcare, food, & other necessities thanks to Rubber-stamp Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill and their refusal to end Taco D’s tariffs.

It’s hard to have faith in a govt. run by people whose only work right now is lying to shift the blame for their own actions onto Dems.

It’s not my top issue, but I’m glad to see that people are calling their reps to get Adelita Grijalva of AZ sworn in to the House of Representatives!

Shame on Mike Johnson for protecting pedophiles and lying about what she can do with no budget or oath.

More peaceful protest pics of people wearing fun, inflatable costumes. We also had people who drove by holding signs and waving American flags.

As we gathered to protest
the weather was gray
but some people wore costumes
to brighten the day!

It’s not right to deprive Arizonans of constituent services or their representation in the House; and covering for pedophiles is even worse.

Feel free to spread this one around, too. 😉

Here’s another reason Mike Johnson’s got to go.

Ooh, that‘s so much better than mine!

Can everyone pass this info to Johnson’s constituents in Louisiana? He’s sworn in representatives during pro forma sessions before. The only plausible reason for him not doing the same for Grijalva is that he’s stalling for time so Republicans will change their minds and protect the pedophiles.

Worse, he’s covering for pedophiles. FYI, he’s sworn in representatives during pro forma sessions before, but he’s full of excuses now that the person who needs to be sworn in is a Dem who wants to release the Epstein files. Her signature on the petition will lock in all the others and force a vote.

More people need to call their senators and remind them that dictatorships suck for everyone but the dictator. FYI, I tried to call my rep on another issue but couldn’t get through.

If you haven’t tried 5 Calls, you should get it before your provider pulls it from the app store like ICE Block.😡

That is so much prettier than the real fish it’s not even funny! I wouldn’t have been afraid of aquariums growing up if Grandma had your lovely ceramic puffer on her plant stand instead of this creepy exoskeleton. 😅

Sorry your raku plan fell through, but that glaze looks great with your style!

Does anyone know how to contact the heads of ABC, Nexstar, and Sinclair to complain about them violating Jimmy Kimmel’s free speech just to curry favor with the FCC chair? When you read what he actually said, it’s pretty clear that he didn’t say anything to merit being pulled from the air!

Taco D’s desire to stop quarterly reports reminds me of how Timothy Snyder explained in his book On Tyranny that fascist leaders express “open hostility to verifiable reality.” You can see this in how Taco D claims any data that makes him look bad is a lie and any reports that do are “fake news.”

“Let’s be honest about Charlie Kirk’s life — and death,” an article by Zach Beauchamp of Vox, discusses how we must address the harmful aspects of Charlie Kirk’s political agenda without justifying or unintentionally condoning political violence.

I’m so sick of Republicans accusing Democrats of being soft on crime that I decided to make a graphic to show what their “law and order” really is.

Here’s the creepy page of Epstein’s birthday book that I think only MSNBC is mentioning thus far. I’ve transcribed the handwritten note and put it with the alt text for the image.

⚠️ TW: The note contains a vile “joke” about selling a woman and refers to her in a dehumanizing manner.

I hate leaving voicemails, but I hated having Sam “No-Show” Graves as my representative more! 😡

If you want to stop the #gerrymandering of #KCMO, please, contact your local representatives ASAP and tell them to oppose H.B. 1. The 5 Calls app will look up and dial their numbers for you.

Here’s your friendly reminder that most of those people have never been convicted of a crime.

This was a pleasant surprise: As of today, Missourians no longer have to pay sales tax on products that address menstrual flow or urinary incontinence. This includes period underwear and both child & adult diapers. Follow the link below for more details. ⬇️

Somebody I love is getting her license renewed, and I told her to get a Real ID to ensure she doesn’t have trouble voting. Increased processing fees start today in MO.

Consider this your reminder to make sure you have all the req’d documents to verify your identity, SS#, residence, & name change.

It says CATO.org in the world’s tiniest font, but the CATO Institute got the info from ICE’s booking data.

Here’s a pic of the original pie chart they used on The Briefing with Jen Psaki. It’s not rounded to the same place value as Indivisible’s graphic, but it shows more.

Your article on Halimi is fantastic, but if you leave the screencaps without annotation, people can use them to spread Musk’s conspiracy theory further. Here’s my attempt at fixing it.

Don’t forget that terrorizing immigrant farm workers makes food more expensive and scarce! Cruelty has many prices.

Shame I didn’t place a bet on my 🍊🤡 predictions, because I could really use the grocery money.
