The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

I had a vision of this yarn and worked with High Prairie Fibers to make it a real thing! It is 100% Lincoln, a long wool, and consists of three plies, a white, grey and black. It is a heavy yarn that will keep you warm this winter!
