No, this is the Easy Faux Brioche Scarf by Cristina Frerking. It does look similar, though.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Finished up some scarves for Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland. This year, I did one pattern, eight colors. #knitting #knitsky

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

Heads up: Disney/ABC put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, but many viewers still can’t see him. Why? Because Sinclair and Nexstar, which own a huge number of local ABC affiliates, are blocking his return. Sinclair is demanding an apology and even a donation. Nexstar says it “wants assurances.” These are not private streaming choices. These are state-licensed stations that depend on local ad dollars, and they are using their gatekeeping power for political leverage. 👉 What you can do: 1. Check your local station. See if it is owned by Sinclair or Nexstar. 2. Watch the ads. Write down which brands are keeping these stations afloat. 3. Pressure advertisers. Let them know their dollars are funding censorship. 4. File a complaint with the FCC. These stations are supposed to serve the public interest, not political agendas. Remember: Disney does not control your local affiliate. Sinclair and Nexstar do. Advertisers are what keep them alive. This is not just about one late-night host. It is about whether powerful corporations can silence national programming for political reasons.

Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship.

Keep standing up to Trump’s ongoing attacks on the First Amendment. Keep pressuring media outlets and corporations to protect the free press. Collectively, WE have power. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

OMG! THIS IS PERFECT! So glad Stephen doesn’t have any more fucks to give. 💋

“The FCC decided all by itself that radio and television were the only two parts of American life not protected by the free speech provisions of the first amendment to the constitution.”

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"Yes, Yes, to Ta-Nehisi Coates, you listen."

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

I think it’s fair to say there have been more overt attacks on and threats to freedom of expression in the US since January than in our entire history. And recently they are accelerating and getting more brazen.

I have zero desire to mock the death of Charlie Kirk.

I have immense desire to call out the hypocrisy of those who want Netanyahu to “finish the job” & kill every Palestinian while mocking them as they suffer genocide—then getting upset someone laughed at Kirk.

White supremacy is a helluva drug.

At least 2 students shot at high school in Colorado, authorities say At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

Oh HELL NO‼️ Good luck with that‼️ New Yorkers will record and post it‼️

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

Researchers found that moisture lost to evaporation and drought, plus runoff from pumped groundwater, now outpaces the melting of glaciers and the ice sheets of either Antarctica or Greenland as the largest contributor of water to the oceans.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

World War 2 & Vietnam War lasted a combined 27 years, or just shy of 10,000 days. In that time, a total of 132 journalists were killed.

Israel has sieged Gaza for just under 700 days & killed 242+ journalists.

This violates Art 79 of Add’l Protocol (I) of Geneva Conventions.

These Are War Crimes.

This would not be happening if African Americans weren't the largest demographic in Washington, DC. This is white supremacy.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
