The member of the Scottish parliament for Shetland has lodged a complaint in Holyrood over the depiction of fair isle knitting in the UK’s new competitive knitting show, which debuted this week with a controversial tank top challenge and steek-related dismissal.

You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby.
The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

Since folks are talking a lot about democratic socialism this week, just gonna re-up this thread on how MLK voiced religious support for democratic socialism — but most folks aren't aware of when he did so most explicitly.
That was in an obscure, little-known speech he gave in Frogmore, SC in 1966.

1. Religion aside: Mamdani cites a 1961 speech by MLK here, but King was actually more explicit about his support for democratic socialism later on.
I know this because I went to great lengths to confirm the quote — which comes from a 1966 speech to staff in SC — for my book American Prophets.

To welcome and defend children, then, is to turn toward Jesus himself. And to turn away from children—to neglect, starve, or endanger them—is to extend the crucifixion to them, writes Yanan Melo.

Sucks that this is even a thing -- shithole country, indeed -- but also a good reminder to donate to WCK if possible. Alongside any of your local food banks.
My brother just sent a picture from DC, where World Central Kitchen — yes, the people who've been feeding Gaza — have a tent set up offering free meals for federal employees and families who are affected by the shutdown. God I hate this shithole country.

So decent cops should start organizing against stupid, illegal cruelty like this. This gives all law enforcement a bad name.
ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Again: people do NOT like being fired, kidnapped, and starved, or (in most cases!) seeing this happen to their neighbors
Mamdani aside, it’s results across the Hudson River in New Jersey that show MAGA is in deep shit. In counties like Passaic looking like Hispanic support has completely collapsed & reversed only a year later. Dem Mikie Sherrill won governor far better than expected. www.latintimes.com/latinos-sour...

Let's not forget that the only reason we're not talking about Boston @mayorwu.boston.gov's victory tonight is because she won her preliminary election so decisively that her billionaire heir opponent dropped out. ✊

I love that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social recognizes the potential for this to be a genuine turning point in the history of both NYC and the USA and it’s not all about him. It’s not “I alone can save you.” Enough of that shit. We have bigger things to do.

Zohran Mamdani has won more votes than people who live in the following states:
South Dakota
North Dakota

He will soon pass Delaware.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Massachusetts will not be bullied and Boston is lucky to have @wutrain.bsky.social back at the helm. Congratulations my friend. Here’s to the future we will keep working to build together.
