Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

It’s been 84 years… or so it feels like it since I last posted and/or picked up a project… Glad spring is around the corner because the past 2+ weeks in our house have been rough germ-wise. 3/4 of us were out for some or all of that time. We all recovered. But democracy is still dying. Back to work!

Sending love to all my CDN and US small biz folk who need to completely rejig their systems, suppliers and everything else.
To the rest of us, be patient with them. The world just shifted under everyone's feet and we cannot expect business as usual. But DO support your small business folk!

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Nothing like a “yarn meeting” (as my kiddo called tonight’s knitting zoom) to get a bunch of ends woven in! 🧶

UPDATE: Federal US District Judge Loren AliKhan has temporarily blocked the Trump regime from implementing their spending freeze. Judge AliKhan’s order expires Feb. 3 at 5pm.
Plaintiff's (correctly) argue that POTUS cannot stop funding to Americans already approved by Congress.

It’s almost as if one party cares about the lives of everyday people and the other doesn’t. 🤷🏻♀️
BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze.
That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

For those still over on IG and you followed the official POTUS (46) and VP accounts for the prior administration, go unfollow them! They switched the official accounts over to 47 and JD, keeping all the followers. 😡🤢

Many of us are still figuring out this new-to-us platform and honestly, having different feeds is one of my favorite features so far. This is a marathon. Not a sprint. We are only on day TWO. Yes, we need to take action. But we also need to take care of ourselves for the long haul.
If the folks you follow here post political stuff that is affecting your mental health, you DO NOT have to see it. Avoid the FOLLOWING tab for a while. Stick with the tabs that are about your interests till you feel stronger, or mute keywords.

One of my favorite parts of making these scrappy blankets is revisiting leftover yarns from past projects. Like this one that I purchased just a few days after we found out I was pregnant after 5+ years of infertility. It eventually became stripes in Z’s first Rhinebeck sweater 🧶 #Knitting #Crochet
