Recovering from Huricaine Helene that damaged my weaving and machine knitting studio.Luckier than most of WNC. Weaving, spinning, beading, knitting, and cats are my passions.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Eliminate working time restrictions

14-year-olds can work overnight

Teens can work overnight on school days

End guaranteed meal breaks for ages 16 & 17

The graphic features the Florida state seal on the left side. Below the graphic, there is a ticker with the text: "DEVELOPING STORY: FLA. TO LIFT SOME CHILD LABOR LAWS DUE TO LACK OF MIGRANT WORKERS; IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT ATTEMPTS TO DETAIN HER FOR NEWS CENTRAL."

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contractsβ€”an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: β€œWe grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

What spurred this on was passing by a usually empty campground that is now full of tiny homes and donated trailers. Please don't forget VA,TN,&GA. The city of Irwin TN was wiped off the map.Pray or donate for us!
