Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

Honestly nothing feels different here today at all. There are still ICE raids all over, they're still letting people out at Whipple into the cold with nothing, and like you said, people still need food and rent money.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

it's such a cool thing when you feel a new muscle memory start to click into place; last night I was spinning and giving chain-plying another try (a way of making a three-ply yarn with only one single) and while the yarn is a MESS, I felt myself catching the rhythm more and more
UGH I love spinning

Hi everyone, there are a lot of new faces here, and it's been a helluva day. I just want to ask a couple things:
1. Whether it's through my work, @adenng.com's, or anyone else's, please spread the word about AltNPS's behavior.
You can find me here, or (unfortunately) still on Substack:

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

The Minnesotan intifada has my support.
At this time, I’ve been thinking about folks who are scared and who cannot flee to safety for one reason or another. We have a word for resisting through persistence: sumud. Staying and taking care of your community is a valiant cause.

Fine, I did it myself: As of 1/21 evening, 14 Democratice Members of Congress support abolishing ICE, including @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social, who used the term "disband" on @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's show.
Four more have supported abolishing ICE in the past.
