I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but:
Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun.
Also, please credit artists in a post.
I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included.
Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.

Well worth a watch.
Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

Closeup of my current WIP: #handspun hexagon blanket.
Comprised of yarns made throughout my nearly five year spindle spinning journey. The part that forms the initial hexagon shape uses one of my first ever two ply yarns. 🥹

It was made special for Flower by @samindy4.bsky.social .
The cape is a sweater without sleeves due to her arthritis so all her arms and legs are free moving and do NOT need to be manipulated into sleeve. The cape retains her warmth so she wanders more.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.
