Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5 handsoff2025.com

More whimsy today in @carlasonheim.bsky.social Carla Sonheim’s 2025 Art Club. Today we rough-stitched a stuffed pony. I named mine "Bobber, the Plaid Pony" and he’s a gift to my dad, Bob, for his 90th birthday.

"Be what scares them. Live lives in colors their eyes can’t even see. Cook food they want to deport. Call someone you haven’t in a while. Fight with a smile. Fail and come back. Be weird. Be welcoming. Kiss converts. Refuse despair. Be disobedient. Laugh loudly. Hide someone. Call out. Root down."

I’m part of @carlasonheim.bsky.social Carla Sonheim’s 2025 Art Club. We meet twice monthly on Zoom. Recently we did quick contour drawings of vintage buttons on Etsy. Next, we lightly drew "lazy lines.” Then, we added our vintage button flowers and color. It was a truly meditative practice.

I found this fascinating. It’s a visual experience of what it’s like to be in Middle School created by The Pudding which is a company that explains ideas debated in culture with visual essays.. “We should care most about who you are right now, rather than focusing entirely on who you’ll turn into."

What do YOU think of the INDIVISIBLE movement? It offers a road map for action to build and wield power in ways that individuals can’t. To create change, we need the collective constituent power that comes with working together. indivisible.org

Making art is becoming increasingly essential to me. I appreciate illustrator Wendy MacNaughton. I am seeing more US flags hanging upside down. The U.S. flag code says that the flag is not to be inverted “except as a signal of dire distress in instance of extreme danger to life or property.”

"Behavior in the real world is what affects political change, not getting anxious in front of a screen.” I have been anxious. So, today I contacted my house rep urging support of Medicaid. Cutting it would be devastating to millions of enrollees and would have far-reaching consequences for us all.

THANK YOU, Gov. Janet Mills, (D-Maine) for standing up — face to face — with Donald Trump his mtg with governors. Your courage and commitment to follow state & federal laws (not EOs) is EXACTLY what is going to make an impact. Threats of “aggressive enforcement.” Jeez. See you in court.

"These two trains are on a collision course. And most of the impact of what’s already happened hasn’t hit yet. But it will. It’s like a person who jumps off a skyscraper and they’re halfway to the ground,” writes Josh Marshall, founder of Talking Points Memo. Hmmm . . . “interesting" image(s).

Social media platform X blocks links to secure messaging app Signal; encrypted service has been used by terminated government workers to contact journalists. I am beginning to use Signal more frequently for its security.

I laughed out loud several times. SNL has definitely been a “Hit or Miss” show that’s gone thru its “It’s not funny anymore phases,” but this was entertaining. (And star studded).

This morning I am notified my contacts that I am moving away from Meta. I will simply not tolerate its policy changes that NOW ALLOW its billions of uses to express hate toward marginalized groups and to accuse people of being mentally ill based on their sexuality or gender identity.
