It’s finally done! The knitting itself wasn’t that hard, but I had a hard time understanding the directions, so I had to tear it apart many times.

The one single, proven constraint on oligarchy and autocracy By Michael Podhorzer

Another reason to protect our unions!! "Oligarchs know politics is about power, and they know strong unions don’t just deliver better wages and benefits for their members. Unions also build the kind of real democratic power—for all of us, not just union members—that keeps oligarchs in check."

Elon Musk is systematically seizing control over our nation’s communications, financial systems and data and military infrastructures.

Musk isn’t a fourth branch of government, just another Silicon Valley who wants to be dictator of the world.

Needle felting might be my new favorite hobby! Thank you to Celeste and the New Hope Solebury Library for teaching me how to make these!

Trump slaps tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, risking higher prices for U.S. consumers The new levies on America’s top trade partners could drive prices higher for cars, electronics, lumber and more, threatening to crimp an economy that the president has vowed to improve.

Donald Trump just slapped a major tax on every person and business in America. Families will pay hundreds more at the grocery store and the gas pump. Everything from cars to kitchen appliances will skyrocket in price.

Thank you, Mayor Gainey.
