Lifelong knitter, 🧢 took up spinning about 15 years ago. I’ve been a quilter, cross-stitcher, needlepointer, and crocheter. A lefty who is damn sick of the patriarchy.

Finally finished spinning Nula 2019, a fleece I bought at Shepherds Harvest in MN from #strawberryridgefarm.
60 ozs divided into 30 bags of 2 ozs and then two plyed. Feels good to get another fleece spun up, but several to go!

Here's the science behind the COVID vaccine in pregnancy Existing evidence on the safety and efficacy of getting a COVID vaccine in pregnancy all points the same way: the shot is important for maternal and fetal health.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

All of these men are being illegally detained in a foreign gulag. They weren't deported. They were illegally imprisoned.

This is the face of fascism. Look at it.

Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on a list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report

Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

As I’ve been saying for years, Trump’s pronouns are me/me/me/me/me/me/me. Everything is always about him. He has no consideration or empathy for anyone else, and no principles or values other than what’s best for him.

Opinion | Trump's second administration acts as if there are no rules This administration hasn't been constrained by the Constitution or the Supreme Court β€” and no one in America is immune from being targeted.

The Trump admin is operating as if unconstrained by law or courts. As @anthonylfisher.bsky.social argues, that’s different from Trump’s 1st term, which broke some rules but were constrained by others.

We’ve never before seen a White House team act without concern of impeachment or criminal charges.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Trump admin hasn’t funded legal help for unaccompanied immigrant children despite judge’s order Attorneys say the funding cutoff has caused chaos, with kids as young as 5 facing judges alone in immigration courts. Some are victims of sexual abuse and trafficking.

The Trump administration has not complied with a federal court order directing it to continue funding legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, attorneys in the case allege.

If what the capitulating law firms told the NY Times is correct, then they are the most incompetent lawyers in America. It isn't possible that they thought that they made a deal with Donald Trump and he was getting nothing and it would not come back to bite them.

A Donald Trump ally has a suggestion for Warner Bros. Discovery: Why don't you pay us or give us a TV show? Donald Trump is suing some media companies. But he's also open to deals with them, like one with WBD that could include money, programming, or both.

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefingβ€”because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

If you're protesting on Saturday, please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the cult.

Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the ACLU First Defense Legal Aid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens.
