The Supreme Court majority is absolute garbage.
In light of today’s Supreme Court ruling, this bears repeating: #SpeakOut
Every blue state needs to immediately pass a law that says law enforcement officers, including ICE, cannot wear masks to hide their faces, and cannot interfere with anyone filming them.
Every morning my husband turns on #MorningJoe. When Joe is on it ruins my day. What a blow hard. The only time it’s palatable to watch are the days he’s off.
Beautiful. You look lovely in it.
Nancy Mace is compromised both legally and mentally.
I really, really want Illinois state police or Chicago city police to arrest an ice agent for brutality or not identifying themselves.

Stress knitting this weekend. Made another hat. Working on my yarn stash. This one is homespun. #showmeyourknits
FAFO
Who do you believe? The NYT or Rolling Stone. #USOpen
My summer garden still looking glorious in September.
Another sign of his increasing mental deterioration.
Horror movie
Exactly 👇🏼
Exactly.
Fabulous. You have a lot of skill.
Hey #SouthCarolina. Did you see this most draconian #antiabortion bill. Contact your SC House Rep and tell them to oppose this bill.
2025 SC READY assessments have been released, highlighting where students across the Palmetto State score in core subjects. Here’s how Beaufort and Jasper County school districts scored.
Unless their grandmothers told them about it when they were kids. Mine told me about my father’s polio, my uncle’s diphtheria and my mother’s scarlet fever. They told me how scared they were that their babies would die.
The RFK hearing is a remarkable example of someone in real-time being informed about where they are on the Dunning-Kruger curve.
SCOTUS lives in a MAGA bubble. If there was a Democratic president doing this stuff they would be holding emergency conferences to stop it. Public sentiment may have minimal effect on Robert’s, Kavanaugh and Barrett, but Thomas and Alito are theocrats. They don’t care.
Says the state that doesn’t give women agency over their own bodies.
I made a beanie hat. So now the mittens make sense. 😁 #showmeyourknits
Or opening up and having their bowels empty explosively.
How about getting between him and your open doors for fun traffickers.
As a member of the League of Women Voters I am appalled and disgusted. I hope that the national organization goes to court on this.

Your reminder that there was a time the NFL thought a black QB wasn’t smart enough to lead the team. This season will open with 16 black QB starting. Some will call this progress. I call it “no shit!”.
It’s always about Nancy…. Ugh #NancyMace
If I hear one more time “…when I was in congress…” He is so arrogant and doesn’t understand how irrelevant his time in congress in the 1990s is now.
And Rush Limbaugh.
Happy to take the birthrate people seriously the second one of them is like omg, have you seen the black infant mortality death rate? We’re losing out on so many lovely black babies!
Beautiful.
And today there is a summit with India, China and Russia — the new Axis of Evil as the US stands by led by a weak and incompetent president. The world is laughing at us and crying at the same time.

And will he be standing or sitting. Will he be clutching the podium holding in so he doesn’t fall over.
I cancelled my subscription when they failed to endorse Kamala.
You guys see where this is going? Right?

He’s not well.
The Times headlines have been disappointing for a long time. Two weeks ago the headline was that his fine was eliminated in his fraud case. No word on the fact that the appeals court held up the fraud conviction and other non financial penalties.
We already suspect he has fecal incontinence.
Tim Scott is another sanctimonious alleged Christian who claims to follow the teachings of Jesus but apparently never understood the Bible.
Where’s Jake Tapper?
Sadly Trump has been sighted today with the NYT still raising questions about Biden.
Just plain ugly.
No. I am a hobbyist. Really just a stress knitter. It takes my mind off all the terrible stuff happening in our country.
How disappointing is it the DJT played golf today? 😔
Free on Ravelry.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Just finished this matching hat and mittens. #showmeyourknits
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
I’m sure she’s also concerned.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
My father who was a physician had polio as a child fervently believed in vaccines. I wish that every elected and appointed MAGA are affected by their anti-science malicious (not merely misguided) decisions. I don’t wish people ill, but these people are killing the rest of us.

If I hear one more time that the “guard rails” that are supposed to protect our democracy are failing us, I’m going to scream. Stop being victims! The guard rails are not failing us. We are failing the guard rails. If you’ve not been vocal in pushing back- what will it take!?! #StandupNow
Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u... Too bad. So sad.
I am actually pleased with the quirkiness of having different colors on each hand. 😁
And a man not intimidated by a woman’s success.
#showmeyourknits Crazy that these mittens are from the same skein of yarn.

Today is Women’s Equality Day. On this day 105 years ago, women were granted the right to vote. Women need to show their power and vote for their rights. 💪💪
Every day I am disappointed by the obituaries.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Trump is a con man. I have known that as a NYer from the time I was born in Brooklyn NY.
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @jillwine-banks.bsky.social What if a blue state governors called up their own nat’l guard troops. Could they preempt Trump & prevent troops from other states under the president’s command from entering their states?

The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.

No surprise. They are afraid of ICE.
Of course you would never know that from the NYT headlines.
@waytooearly.bsky.social @alivitali.bsky.social I’m up getting ready to go to a school board meeting to oppose the banning of 9 books. I support FABB - Families Against Book Bans.
Scott Jennings is reprehensible. Abby could have someone on who represents the MAGA viewpoint without being rude and disrespectful. But then again, maybe that’s embedded in the MAGA gestalt. I don’t watch CNN in a large part because they pay Scott Jennings.
Exactly why I am not on Facebook or Instagram.
Divided Court Eliminates Trump’s Half-Billion-Dollar Fine in Fraud Case www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n... Why couldn’t this headline be: Appeals Court Upholds Fraud Conviction But Eliminates Fine in Trump Case?
Scott Jennings is why I don’t watch CNN. What an A- hole.!
She a liar and a cheat.
Elderly hippie here. Not 90 yet, but hope To get there.
True that.
Liar.
Liar.
Too bad most of federal funding comes from blue states.

I must be the only person in the world that hated that book.
Figures. DJT is stuck in the 1970s.
Crazy. The guy in the trench coat looks like Columbo. Lol
I bet they think the 19th Amendment should be repealed.
Listen, you can’t break the Trump cult, but they are the minority. We need a sustained presence of Democrats in rural spaces to talk to their neighbors and run for office. Seats go uncontested for decades. Hate gerrymandering? Get Democrats on every ballot and every race. We have to run to win.
Here is the staggering incompetence/lack of attention to detail of the administration: in normal times, the tie/red carpet imagery would have been considered in advance and avoided.
