Lifelong knitter, 🧶 took up spinning about 15 years ago. I’ve been a quilter, cross-stitcher, needlepointer, and crocheter. A lefty who is damn sick of the patriarchy.
Finally finished spinning Nula 2019, a fleece I bought at Shepherds Harvest in MN from #strawberryridgefarm.
60 ozs divided into 30 bags of 2 ozs and then two plyed. Feels good to get another fleece spun up, but several to go!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

The Trump admin is operating as if unconstrained by law or courts. As @anthonylfisher.bsky.social argues, that’s different from Trump’s 1st term, which broke some rules but were constrained by others.
