Finished my first Melt the Ice hat. #knitsky

Taking a break from my cabled sweater to knit my first (of presumed many) melt the ice hat. Hugs to my friends in Portland, looks like you're going through it today. #knitsky

I made it to sleeve separation on my Snowy Forest pullover tonight. Now it's just lots of fuzzy comforting stockinette left to go. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

"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?

Good turn out today in Poulsbo. Shout out to Poulsbo mayor Ed Stern and Rep. Tara Simmons for their attendance and speeches. Our frog hats are getting lots of wear. #knitting #democracy

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Trials for every ICE member.

Thursdays are brewery knitting night. Inching my way to the end of the cabled yoke on my Snowy Forest. #knitting

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

www.reddit.com/r/television.... I'm not usually a fan of reboots, but I must say this feels like the perfect time.

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

Knitting interlude. Yoke progress, co-starring Capt. Jack Tinypants. #knitting

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

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.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

A blustery day in Poulsbo to stand up against fascism. Our frog hats received lots of love. 💙💙💙 #knitting #iceoutforgood

Democracy dogs, an occasional series.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Knitting is a comfort in terrible times, but it's hard not to let the pain flow into the stitches. Garments that I knit during important events forever remind me of what was happening then. #knitting

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Okay I lied, there is one more finished object for 2025. One quick and fluffy hat to go with the krampus horns I bought Gordon for his birthday. #knitting #fiberarts

Last finished object of the year, the scarecrow vest in four odd one of a kind malabrigo rios skeins. #knitting

Knitted vest in progress, with house panthers. #knitting

New knitting on the needles. #knitting

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Protest frog hat #1 finished, one more to go! #knitting

Frog hat in progress and a judgemental cat who says I'm up past my bedtime #knitting

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Like Charlie Brown and the football, I'm always somehow surprised when Democrats disappoint me. If you don't have the ovaries for this job, get out of the way and let someone else do it.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Mamdani: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

What a night. 💙💙💙💙

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

More of Kristi Noem's butt cracks and beer bellies.

“Oddly enough, it’s almost as if you’re eating a spicy dish and another flavor kicks in,” he added. “I thought ‘oh those must be the pepper balls I’m feeling.’”

"It is not just, for instance, that Kirk held disagreeable views—that he was pro-life, that he believed in public executions, or that he rejected the separation of church and state. It’s that Kirk reveled in open bigotry."

Dear all writers: If you can't quote what the person you're defending actually said, maybe don't defend what he said?

The husband and I got our annual flu and covid shots today. It took a little more effort this year, even here in Washington. Fuck you RFKjr
