#gratitude that my new #weaving project has warped up really easily and is off to a great start. Being able to do a little here and there between classes helps keep my brain and fingers busy enough to stay distracted from seasonal allergies. Mostly.

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s executive push to eliminate DEI in public schools.
The court said what we already knew—this isn’t about law, it’s about censorship. Teachers’ rights matter. Students’ rights matter. This fight is far from over.

Shout out to all of you because this is exhausting and I know seeing other Americans fighting against Unconstitutional authoritarian governance too, helps. This isn’t about party, it is about country. We are in an existential test but to know you love the country too makes the fight worth it. Ty.

Auschwitz was not a single camp. It was 40 camps...in Poland.
Hitler sent people to die in foreign prisons without a trial.
Do you get why we call you nazis now?

“The administration’s position is (1) that it can send US citizen prisoners to El Salvador’s torture chamber; (2) that even an American citizen accused of no crime wrongly sent to El Salvador has no remedy in court. It is hard to imagine a more authoritarian position.”

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable.
And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

This is the same perverse Nazi logic that led Hans Asperger to distinguish between Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: those children who would be killed and those who would be used. Don't get bogged down in arguments about ability or humanity. These are overtures to genocide.

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case.
