Yes!!!!! Also good for short attention spans. I knit during work conferences so I’m not tempted to interrupt and stay in listen mode

I’m on the Senate floor to try to pass an amendment that strikes any part of this Big Ugly Bill that would put rural hospitals at risk of cutting off services or closing.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

MAGAs are about to learn how the ballot box works. We’ve been registering first-time voters across the country and they’re ready. Yes, your vote matters. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t be working so hard to convince you it doesn’t.

As Republicans vote to move this forward do not forget: last night, in the dead of night Republicans released an even worse bill that further attacks clean energy, threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs and investments in communities while raising energy bills.
Screenshot of headline reading: Senate Republicans make steep cuts to wind and solar in updated megabill text

The changes came after President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to crack down on the credits.

This administration is going after the most vulnerable — whether it's unhoused people, trans kids, or immigrants. They want us to be divided — all so we don’t notice that they’re trying to give a massive tax break to billionaires.

What radicalized you?

Nothing.

Not wanting people to starve and suffer is not radical, it's normal. Stop saying it's radical to be base level empathetic, and start asking what made people into sadists.

Call out sick behavior, because kindness should be the default.

I don’t remember where I saw this #knittingtip but it saves me so much time. Attach the number of stitch markers you’ll need for a repeating section and move them into position as you work. When you run out you’re done. No counting or second guessing! I have three more sections to go here. 🧶

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.
Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.
