Restricted-Access Federal Facility, Effective July 7, 2025 Effective July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public. Security officers will enforce these restrictions, and your cooperation is appreciated.

We don’t know exactly what this means, but if it means what it seems like it means, it's very bad.

The US Healthcare system is terrible. We all know this, I’m just really feeling it today.

Brown graphic with text "“This arrest is unprecedented, illegal, and un-American. The federal government is claiming the authority to deport people with deep ties to the U.S. and revoke their green cards for advocating positions that the government opposes. To be clear: The First Amendment protects everyone in the U.S. The government’s actions are obviously intended to intimidate and chill speech on one side of a public debate. The government must immediately return Mr. Khalil to New York, release him back to his family, and reverse course on this discriminatory policy.” — Ben Wizner, Director of ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Tech Project On the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

The Trump administration illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident and recent graduate of Columbia University, in direct retaliation for his advocacy. The government must immediately release him from custody.

“The cruel and unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is targeted, retaliatory, and an extreme attack on the First Amendment,” says NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman.

Free Mahmoud now.

NEW: We joined over 160 organizations in sending a letter to Congress demanding they reject the Defund Our Communities Act.

This bill would allow critical federal funding to be cut from hundreds of cities and states if they refuse to carry out the president's radical deportation agenda.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Elon Musk has now set his sights on the U.S. gold reserves at Fort Knox, insisting on personally ensuring the gold remains intact. The vault was last opened to journalists and a congressional delegation in 1974.

Book bans deny us our right to learn about our identities and read about different perspectives.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Striped sweater in progress

Made quite a bit of progress on my Stornoway Sweater today for the KALs @larkspurknits.bsky.social and @youngfolkknits.bsky.social are hosting. I have to keep pulling out my blocked swatch to remind myself that blocking will fix what’s currently a weird squishy mess. #blueskykal

A handknit oversized triangle shawl.

Finished something! This is my Boneyard shawl, knit in Witchfirefiber Classic DK in a colorway from last year’s Oracle Club: Withdraw.

Stripey sweater in progress

Working on my Stornoway Sweater for @youngfolkknits.bsky.social #stornowaysweatersquad KAL and @larkspurknits.bsky.social #blueskykal

Hoping I got those tags right… the inability to edit over here is killing me.

Exactly!! I feel so sad as a 🦋 here. No chance of being actually represented. I reached out but it goes unacknowledged.

Disassociating tonight through my knitting because I emotionally and physically can’t try to reason with my federal representatives again. I’m in Utah—they’re GOP bootlickers who do not care and do not listen.

Look, pretty sweaters.

Fucking politicians.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Ready to block my swatch! #skykal #stornowaysweatersquad

🤣😆

Mmmm crumbs

Having a “scream into the void” kind of day. Someone convince not to swatch for a fifth sweater cast on….

#knitsky

The start of a cabled sweater that’s basically a weird necklace at this point.

Learning to balance all the sweater WIPs. Anyone have a rotation method they love? Please share!

Awwww!!! Hi Bella!!

I always take new projects when I travel! This was my conference knitting last week. Cast on a new sweater so I could have a little back section to work on during the 4+ hour flight and in the hotel at night. 😍

A squishy cabled sweater in progress in a golden, butterscotch color. Looks like it would taste like caramel.

The moment you join the front and back--suddenly, it starts to feel like a garment.

Dreaming of my next cast-on already… #knitsky The Stornoway Sweater.
