So I’ve gone down another arts & crafts rabbit hole - watercolor pencils. To say I’m obsessed would be an understatement!

I felt like writing a little today. This started out being quite a bit longer, but I think this shortened version makes sense.

Text image with motivational message that encourages political reflection and growth. Discusses the importance of evaluating leaders based on character and upholding constitutional values. Offers perspective on acknowledging mistakes and evolving for the better. Background is a soft blue gradient. The full text reads:

It’s okay to admit you were misled or made a mistake in voting for him. Choosing a leader is hard, and it’s natural to focus on a single issue you care about. But leadership is about the whole person—their character, honesty, and respect for our institutions. Do they uphold the Constitution? Do they value the rights of *all* Americans?

The truth is, this administration has hurt the economy, targeted legal citizens’ rights, ignored due process (which is the law of the land “equal protection for all”), threatened gop legislators with opposing views, and defied and threatened judges when they disagree. Those aren’t just policies—they’re betrayals of our values.

Changing your mind isn’t weakness—it’s growth. When we know better, we do better.

A local MAGA group posted this ahead of our peaceful protest. Calling for VIOLENCE against us. And they say WE are violent? (Every accusation is a confession, remember?) Threatening us with Fentanyl syringes and metal sticks is insanity. Did we stand down? NO! We showed up, over 300 strong!

A post from a local maga group states that the local Democrats are inviting patriots to "bash your favorite Democrat retard, badly." The post encourages people to bring bullhorns, metal walking sticks, and prefilled fentanyl syringes to "give the Dems a buzz they won't soon forget." The post also includes a flyer for a Dems protest of Elon Musk & Trump on Friday, March 28 from 4:30-5:30 PM outside the Tesla Dealership. The post ends with a quote from Abraham Lincoln: "let them see the better angels of our nature".

How exactly does allowing fewer customers (namely customers with disabilities) the ability to access your store or restaurant = more money?? This garbage just takes away much needed guidance for businesses so they can accommodate people with disabilities.

Screenshot from the justice.gov website that reads: Deputy Assistant Attorney General Mac Warner of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Putting money back into the pockets of business owners helps everyone by allowing those businesses to pass on cost savings to consumers and bolster the economy."
The Department has identified the following 11 pieces of guidance for withdrawal:
1. COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act: Can a business stop me from bringing in my service animal because of the COVID-19 pandemic? (2021)
2. COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act: Does the Department of Justice issue exemptions from mask requirements? (2021)
3. COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act: Are there resources available that help explain my rights as an employee with a disability during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2021)
4. COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act: Can a hospital or medical facility exclude all "visitors" even where, due to a patient's disability, the patient needs help from a family member, companion, or aide in order to equally access care? (2021)
5. COVID-19 and the Americans with Disabilities Act: Does the ADA apply to outdoor restaurants (sometimes called "streateries") or other outdoor retail spaces that have popped up since COVID-19? (2021)
6. Expanding Your Market: Maintaining Accessible Features in Retail Establishments (2009)
7. Expanding Your Market: Gathering Input from Customers with Disabilities (2007)
8. Expanding Your Market: Accessible Customer Service Practices for Hotel and Lodging
Guests with Disabilities (2006)
9. Reaching out to Customers with Disabilities (2005)

FYI if you see a video going around at Chatterbox, this is the real story behind it. Trump’s followers are just like him, bullies! That behavior cannot be called anything other than hateful.

The text says “On Friday, March 14th, a group of individuals visited Chatterbox and intentionally misgendered and harassed a Chatterbox employee, resulting in them being asked to leave by our staff. They then continued verbally assaulting our patrons and staff, threatened our establishment, and returned to record a video which has now been posted on multiple social media platforms.” Background shows part of the Chatterbox venue with a pride flag displayed.

Part 1 of Swiftie protest sign ideas by @thereswiftance.bsky.social Part 2 coming later!

A combination of a graphic and a photo. The background is bright teal. There is a waist up cutout photo of Taylor Swift in her classic 1989 outfit which consists of a black cropped tank top and a blue sequined sporty jacket. She has a blonde bobbed haircut and is looking shocked with her mouth wide open. She is carrying a cartoon-looking sign that says “Swipe for Swiftie Themed Protest Sign Ideas” with a red arrow beneath it.
In the background there is a graphic of silhouetted people carrying signs in a protest.

I’m so angry, because I care so damn much.

A screenshot of a poem, black letters on a white background. The poem says

“The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love.
This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all.
You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water.
And justice is a river that demands
you do not give up on it.

By Nikita Gill”
