Reminder that two of Ravelry's top patterns right now are melt the ice hat (knit) and melt the ice hat (crochet)
A reminder — there are *millions* of social sites on the internet, like Storygraph for your reading and Ravelry for your knitting, etc. It’s only the biggest, run by the extremist fascists, that do these terrible things. Don’t define the internet by a handful of apps run by 5 sociopaths.

I have no doubt that right now a young girl, who came here legally, who was made illegal by the Trump Regime, is writing in her diary about hiding from ICE. Never forgetting means understanding not just how the Holocaust ended, but how it started, how it was nurtured, and how to prevent another one.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Because of the timing of Christmas and the winter break this year, the public school schedule has exactly 180 days -- the minimum needed for state funding. This snowstorm could have been twice as bad as it was, and they still would have gone to remote learning.

I think it's really bad that the group that claims to speak for Jews at Columbia University is so grossly xenophobic.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Every politician in America needs to get a lot more comfortable speaking plainly to a camera and hitting their marks
Mamdani made a 90 sec. video discussing when and how the roads would be plowed, crediting the workforce that makes it possible, reminding owners they must shovel, reminding trash may be delayed, saying there’d be a decision about school by noon, and telling kids it’s fine to hit him with snowballs.

Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

“Photos from today show him as he will rest in power: a healer, a defender, and a fierce protector of humanity.”
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
