Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

People are still being targeted, harassed, and detained, how can you talk like it is over?

Thank you! 🥰

Finally finished Clue 3 of the #musiKAL. Excited to move on to Clue 4 and hoping I don't have nearly as many ends to weave in from now on because that was a lot 😅

There's always something 😭

Man sprays unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar and is tackled at Minneapolis town hall A man sprayed an unknown substance on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and was tackled to the ground Tuesday during a town hall she was hosting in Minneapolis, where tensions over federal immigration e...

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe.

Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.

I had heard of this pattern earlier, but only just now found it off Rav. I have some Diablo from @lolabeanyarnco.com that would probably work perfectly

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute.

I have been diligently working to utilize a different sales platform, but unfortunately there has been a hiccup in the process. For now, the “Be Mine” combo options are available for PREORDER in my Etsy shop

After knitting 4 musselburghs, I find at this point it's too difficult to tell what the fit will be and it seems larger than it will be. I would suggest knitting a couple more inches and measuring again. It's beautiful!

New designs!

I really enjoyed this pattern, it was meditative without being boring and the instructions were well written. Will definitely be making it again!

I started the new year by finishing my first spin on the Schacht Ladybug. I struggled with drive ratios, but overall had a great time.

Simple 3 ply spin, 123 yards and 90 grams, light worsted weight but very dense. Should probably have spun it woolen. :)

😍😍😍😍😍 I have to give this all of the love, can't wait to see it completed!

This is gorgeous!!!

It's been a disaster - Between cancelations and the shutdown, a K99 MOSAIC I submitted October 2024 will finally be reviewed as a K99 (submitted in June 2025) in January 2026. That is just one example of how disruptive these policies have been for early career scientists.

NIH shut out hundreds of young scientists from funding to start their own labs Special Report: The NIH has shut out hundreds of young scientists from funding to start their own labs.

Current NIH policy under Bhattacharya (at the behest of Project2025 architect Russell Vought) is killing the next generation of researchers.

If you value research, tell your members of Congress that the NIH needs more than funding. It needs sound leadership.
