Stop the fascist slide! Free Mahmoud Khalil NOW! Text SIGN PADSZD to 50409 — Please do everything in your power to secure the release from ICE custody of U.S. permanent resident and student activist Mahmoud Khalil. Mahmoud is a student activist for Palestinian rights at Columbia University, and was abducted from his New York apartment on March 8 by DHS agents in retaliation for his political speech on Palestinian rights. Khalil is currently being held in ICE custody and has reportedly already been moved out of New York State. His wife, a U.S. citizen, is eight months pregnant. The Trump administration is making moves from a well-worn fascist playbook and we need our members of Congress to start fighting back. They are trying to remove a legal permanent resident for his political speech in support of human rights and justice. Everyone in Congress needs to immediately and publicly condemn this action, call for Mahmoud's release, and do everything in their power to protect student activists and immigrants from the reach of the Trump administration. This is an outrage and Americans won’t stand for it. Thanks.

It’s Daisy’s birthday! She’s four years old today. To celebrate we plan to shower her with love and treats, and she plans to eat, nap, and have zoomies while shedding massive clumps of white floof all over the house. #BirthdayCat

The yoke is done and the body has been split! My #CatKnitPullover just became my mindless project as I knit rounds and rounds of stockinette on 2.75mm needles. Perfect for stress relief knitting. 🧶

This was the view from the other end of the sofa. Caillou looks so comfy.

Caillou snuggled on my lap while I was knitting the other night. He is not a lap cat so this felt like a tiny kitty miracle!

Check out the cats of my CatKnit Pullover! They’re looking so cute. I’m in the last ten or fifteen rounds which means the fun colorwork will be finished soon. 🧶

Thank you so much for this tip! I can now look at calming crafts, cats, and vegetable gardens. What a difference!

Daisy is being extra snuggly today. It’s like she knows that I can use the extra support. 🧶🐱

When motorcyclists pass each other on the road they do a special wave to acknowledge each other. I want something like that for when you see another masked person in a public place - a little masking solidarity wave.

Yes! I always smile and nod at fellow mask-wearers and would love a solidarity wave or gesture.

Progress: the kitties now have smiling faces! And, as you can see in the background, Daisy is super excited about it. 🧶

Brown and white yoke knitting with a cat pattern, with a white cat staring into the camera in the background.

Caillou is being super helpful with my knitting by chewing on the pattern. Thanks, buddy! 🧶

The cat faces are almost here! It’s so much fun to work on the CatKnit yoke and watch the cats slowly appear. 🧶
