Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. 

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

U.S. Bishops Issue a β€œSpecial Message” on Immigration from Plenary Assembly in Baltimore The bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. It marked the first time ...

96.42% of U.S. Catholic Bishops tell American Catholics to knock it off because -ALL- humans deserve dignity.

(So, not just the blindingly white ones with a Johnson between their legs? Good to know!)

Vote was 216 yes, 5 no, 3 absent. With "sustained applause", to boot.

I transferred my data to both Tidal and Qobuz to test the waters. Anyone have any particular feels or tips about using either of these services?

What timely theme for this week, as I have two hats smokin' hot off the needles! Today we had perfect nearly summer-ish weather, so their debut will need to wait a little longer.

I gravitate towards cuff down with heel flap, for both knitting and wearing. But I do deviate on occasion! I prefer textured patterns with solids & tonals, but turn to vanilla or rib with louder or striped yarns. Have you tried a princess sole? It puts the smooth side toward the skin.

My very first pair! Silver's Sock Class, Red Heart Kids on US 7, 2013.

My motivation to teach myself to knit, was specifically to knit socks! And, 12 years later I've knit ~125 pairs. It's my jam.

I've since evolved. I'll post a few more as the week goes on. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

GenX. Full books, starting in grade school. Are grade schoolers no longer required to write book reports? There were some doozies by the time high school rolled around. Is reading going the way of cursive writing?
