I sure hope some leaders in the Democratic party read this piece. And maybe even act on it.

Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

A sink in a bathroom with a small skeleton in lotus pose sitting just above the faucet and just below a sign that says “Employees Must Wash Hands.” The skeleton also has its hands folded in prayer position.

Began knitting my first pair of socks in February. Finished them in June. And now it’s FINALLY chilly enough to wear them! (Have since finished a second pair — pics coming soon — and am now working on the third)

CO Representative Jason Crow @crow.house.gov making it clear exactly how we demonstrate our power:

“If those with power and influence want to sell off our rights and freedoms to enrich themselves, then Americans should make it clear that cowardice and greed will fail them,” he said.

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and radio stations. We will not send our kids and our money to your universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to authoritarianism.”

The Democratic Women’s Caucus calls it the “Big Bad Billionaire Bill.” 👍 @demwomencaucus.bsky.social

The Big Bad Billionaire Bill betrays American families.

It guts Medicaid, starving rural hospitals and leaving women & families without care.

And when those hospitals close, where will pregnant women in rural communities go?

All to give tax cuts to the rich. We’re fighting back.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
