He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong β€”Β in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

Truck is full of gas, I am full of cheeseburger. A raven landed nearby so I tweeted the whistle I bought from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and tossed it a French fry. I will train every corvid in Susanville to come to the sound of community defense whistles.

Re: the backlash to "craftivism."

Stickering is cool and punk and floods the environment with our messaging.

The hats are not "performative"-- they're doing the same thing! But graffiti is seen as more male, knitting more female, and there you go.

Stupid gender ruining the party for all of us.

Trump’s Twin Cities onslaught feels a lot like the British tyranny in Colonial Boston Centuries-old dispatches show how his administration has betrayed our founding principles.

"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

It looks like the WWII anti fascist hats are about to take over the knitting world. πŸ’–Folks in my area have been trying to restart another WW2 Norwegian silent protest, the wearing of paperclips #knitting

The Yarnery The Yarnery is a yarn store with a bricks-and-mortar shop in St. Paul, MN and a robust online shop. Shipping is quick and reliable. The shop offers a full range of yarn, kits notions, needles, hooks, ...

This is Minneapolis (St. Paul). I walked into a new-to-me yarn store.

β€œAre you looking for red yarn? It’s sorted by weight.”

I bought the yarn and was not the only one, and bought the pattern and never had to tell them it was the Melt ICE hat I wanted. It was 4/5th of the sales I saw.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
