Well, I am an artist, dog-lover, and avid reader. I also adore cats. I am a feminist. I'm a wee bit cranky as befits my time in life. Definitely not into living under a dictatorship. Pronouns: she/her.

The installation, called “Last Call – DemocracyICED,” is plopped down by the U.S. Capitol and is expected to slowly disappear over 10-12 hours.

Local writers are on site reading entries from Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American” every half-hour til "democracy" is gone.

The DoJ wants states’ voter data, a MAGAt now owns Dominion, SCOTUS may further gut the Voting Rights Act, a 2020 election denier now holds a gov’t “election integrity” post, Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act, and we still don’t know how Elon affected the 2024 election. So we’re doing great.

Update in Jackie’s case: Yesterday, an immigration judge ruled there’s no legal basis for her to be in deportation proceedings. Yet she's stuck in detention while ICE appeals.

Jackie should have been released — her children need their mom home. #FreeJackie

A lot of people of color voted for the American Riech. Let's hope they only voted for second class citizenship and not something even worse...and yes, I'm talking Stephan Miller worse.
Anyone who voted for Child Rapist is a 100% fool. But non-white voters? 110% fools.

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.

Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by 114% per latest estimates.

Every lie told about the shutdown is meant to cover this up.

This is so disgusting. Hindering EMS doing their jobs is vile and uh also very frowned upon by the international community. No ambulance crew should ever have to fear being shot at on the job.

This is going to be my soapbox for a while, but we're seeing this jurisprudence change in real time. When Rucho was decided, the Court at least acknowledged that partisan gerrymandering was unfortunate. Today, it's treated as a legit goal for states to pursue and one that VRA districts must respect
