NOT WITH MY TAX DOLLARS.
It’s not just that this is a memorial Trump is building to honor himself. It’s the size & the location.
Twice the size of the Lincoln Memorial, and towering over Arlington National Cemetery, where two presidents and thousands who died in service to this country are buried.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process, you have given up the whole game. You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others. Once you have replaced the principle of equality before the law with the idea that some people have no rights, you have granted your approval to the idea of an authoritarian government. At that point, all you can do is to hope that the dictator and his henchmen overlook you.

One of the first things Hannah Arendt talks about in the Origins of Totalitarianism is how what happened to the Jews during the holocaust could have been any minority & that any system that leans towards totalitarianism needs a minority group to subjugate. It could be you, it could be your neighbor

LOVE. I’m so inspired to go thrifting now for a jacket!!!
We just got an email from the exchange program. If Trumps executive orders cutting funding goes through it will end all exchange student programs. They are sponsored by the State department to promote cross-cultural understanding. It will be a big loss for our students.
I just ordered! My husband will be stoked
My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother
