The beginning of the first episode with all the joys of being on a book tour had me wondering what skulls he might think of it. But she’s really shitty to her fans and yes, it’s really dark.

Union elections plummeted last year after Trump gutted the NLRB β€” while the cost of living soars and corporate profits hit record highs.

Unions are the key to taking on corporate power and increasing working people’s standard of living.

No wonder Trump wants to eradicate them.

The Crespo family was seized in a parking lot by agents in Portland OR as the parents arrived at urgent care seeking medical attention for their 7yo daughter Diana.

The Crespos have pending asylum applications and both have legal work permits.

It’s a long read, but I laughed so hard I cried, really. I really lost it at the part about inspecting her own milk. I did a read aloud to my husband so we could both laugh.
I need to share this with my friend who worked as a goat inseminator in New Jersey.

On Sorrow and Terror by T Thorn Coyle 

Grief and horror at the actions Of others is real.

The kidnappings.
The bombings.
The families starved or torn apart.
The gasping of the earth itself.

We feel the pain.
We scream and cry into the void
Or in each other’s arms.

Then we wash our faces.
Take a deeper breath.
Find a way to help someone,
Anyone
Again.
And again.
And again.

News was slow to reach me of the death of Barbara G. Walker, pillar of the world of knitting as author of the "Treasury of Knitting Patterns" series, "Knitting from the Top," et al (still in print thanks to Schoolhouse Press ), and originator of slip-slip-knit.

I mentioned her..

The article is interesting, but I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the word fiend as a verb.

Graph showing that policies blocking ICE access to jails have kept immigration arrest rates lower in some states.

Graph showing that policies blocking ICE access to jails have kept immigration arrest rates lower in some states.

What's the difference between states like Florida, where ICE arrests are sky-high, and states like Illinois with much lower rates of arrests? It's all about police & jails.

Arrest rates out of homes, workplaces, etc are similar – but reining in sheriffs makes all the difference.

A friend who was an engineer at one of the baby bells once told me. You talk to other engineers with Excel you talk to management with PowerPoint and you talk to the executive suite with sock puppets, though I’m sure you would do awesome sock puppets that weren’t all corporate.
