Made a hand-rolled hem handkerchief from lovely handkerchief linen. I'm satisfied with my embroidery. I may make these as little Christmas gifts. (I'll machine stitch the hem on any others--hand rolled is beautiful but labor intensive! #sewing

As Shawn McCreesh and Tyler Pager report, House Republican holdouts were apparently swayed to support President Trump’s tax and spending bill by signed merch and photographs with the president.

Commercially available sewing patterns have been a cornerstone of home stitching for a century. But well before they existed, there were people trying to share sewing patterns.

It's obvious why the Great White Egret's feathers were used to decorate hats in the 19th century.
Only due to Conservation Laws do we still get to enjoy them. Laws Matter.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Arresting Comptroller Lander is despicable and another example of Trump weaponizing law enforcement to attack political enemies rather than focusing on public safety.
DHS is flat-out lying in its statement.
In the video, Comptroller Lander plainly does not lay a hand on anyone.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander has been arrested at a federal building in Manhattan as he was trying to accompany a person out of an immigration courtroom.
