A year ago today, I was arrested in the Capitol Rotunda for sitting on the floor with nine other women, arms locked, and calling on Republican senators to put country over party and find President Trump guilty of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It was the second time in a week that I…

Throwback Thursday: Women’s March 2017
When I got out my “This Pussy Grabs Back” sign yesterday to celebrate Trump’s eviction from the White House, I didn’t realize we were just a day away from the fourth anniversary of the 2017 Women’s March on Washington D.C. That was the event the sign was originally made for. It was designed by my…
Schwarzenegger Speaks the Truth
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger was a typically shitty austerity-pushing Republican when he served as governor of California — which makes his passionate call for Trump’s removal all the more striking. My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/blOy35LWJ5 — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) January 10, 2021 If…
Impeach Trump Now
I don’t want the domestic terrorism that took place in Washington, D.C., today to sap all the joy out of the yesterday’s huge achievement: Georgia’s election of two Democratic senators, Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Warnock is the first Black person to win a Senate seat in Georgia; Ossoff is the first Jew. Their…
Throwback Thursday: Designer Patrick Kelly
Every time I think I’m settling back in to a daily blogging schedule, the urgent fight against white supremacists and dictatorship calls me away. Sometimes breaking news even cancels planned protest actions, like last weekend, when the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg caused my team to postpone our #TrumpRat art project in…
Put Lipslut’s Notorious RBG on Your Kisser!
I’m still trying to nail the formula for Wendy Brandes lipstick — yes, that’s a real project, in addition to my jewelry. The trouble is I’m as picky about lipstick as I am about jewelry, and getting a factory to make a large quantity of lip color that meets my standards is even more difficult…
Another Political Fashion Slay
I’ve been in disbelief about the recent fashion statements emerging from the political scene, but it’s clearly time I get used to the new Democratic women of Congress. Look at them wearing suffragette white today! .@HouseDemWomen wearing suffragette white and continuing the fight for equality at the #SOTU. #StateOfTheWomen #HerStory pic.twitter.com/D6XM0BoPAQ — Congresswoman Deb Haaland…
Year in Review: 2018’s Top Fashion Slays, Worst Nays
Despite the fact that this year was all about politics for me, I didn’t expect my two favorite fashion moments to emerge from the political arena. But earlier this month, Michelle Obama came to slayyyyyyyyy in thigh-high, glittery Balenciaga boots and my eyes nearly fell out of my head. Embed from Getty Images Obama was…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Tuesday, October 2: Matt Damon’s Brett Kavanaugh impersonation livened up my post about buses to Washington, D.C. Wednesday, October 3: ‘Tis the month to buy new skull jewelry. Friday, October 5: I went to Washington to support sexual-assault survivors who addressed marchers…
