  3. #Voting would be so great if there were #workingclass people running for office without egos, ambition, or desire to accumulate #power and #wealth. I bet the next voting round has the lowest turnout ever. but I’m often wrong.
    Could be projection. I’m def all done voting for dems or republicans. they can go jump in a lake together to escape the heat. Except #Ilhan and #SummerLee They’re my friends.

  5. Move Over Spanberger... #SummerLee to Deliver Working Families Response to Trump State of the Union
    “I’m going to say what too many politicians won’t: The system is rigged, the obscenely wealthy are profiting from it, and working people deserve more than scraps.”

    As Democrats plan boycotts and counterprogramming to President Donald #Trump’s State of the Union address next week, #progressives are readying their own response to resist not just the historically unpopular commander-in-chief, but the centrist faction of their own party.

    For years, the State of the Union has served as a platform for rising stars in the opposition party. The Democrats are rolling out the newly minted Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, a darling of the party establishment.

  7. #FOFriday my finished objects this week are 1) the Semilla slipover vest by Vivian Wei. Purls for days (it's partly knit inside out so I could knit rather than purl). Really liked the Wool of the Andes bulky yarn and it feels very comfy on.
    2) January cuff club sock pattern from #SummerLee with requisite photo bomb from Charlotte. I added the little anklet stripe.

  9. #WIPWednesday - I just started the February #SummerLee cuff club sock pattern. It was designed to use up small scraps of leftover yarn.

  11. For #WIPWednesday I am working on a vest. It looks like it's inside out but it's not! And a pair of socks from #SummerLee. I'm thinking of going back later and stitching some pink mohair/silk yarn to make the bloom more textural.

  13. "Summer Lee rips move to cut 2 PRT bus stops at Waterfront"

    Late nomination for "D-Bag Developer of the Year" award. 🤬
    Nothing says "teetering on the edge of being a deadmall" like kicking out the buses that carry your customers and workers.
    I'd really like to see PRT be a little more forceful in their own defense, here. Great quote from CEO Kelleman, but the comments sections are still acting like the agency is behind this.

  14. #AlexandriaOcasioCortez defends decision to support military aid for Israel

    The New York lawmaker has faced a deluge of criticism for backing funding for Israel's Iron Dome defence system for a second time

    from #MiddleEastEye
    By #MEE staff
    Published date: 21 July 2025 21:11 BST

    The New York lawmaker voted against an amendment by Republican #MarjorieTaylorGreene last week that sought to block $500m in Congress' annual defence spending bill for Israel's #IronDome programme.

    Fellow #Democrats #RashidaTlaib and #IlhanOmar [as well as Democrats #AlGreen of Texas, #SummerLee of Pennsylvania and Republican #ThomasMassie of Kentucky - PL] had supported Taylor Greene's amendment, which eventually lost in a 422-6 vote.

    In a post on X on Saturday, #OcasioCortez claimed that Greene's amendment did "nothing to cut off offensive aid to #Israel nor end the flow of #US munitions being used in #Gaza".

  16. #Tlaib, #ACLU, and advocates warn #HR9495 could empower Trump to silence nonprofits and stifle dissent

    #Progressives and #CivilRights groups sound the alarm over legislation that could allow President-elect #Trump to strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status without evidence, threatening #FreeSpeech and #democracy.

    "The bill does not require officials to provide an explanation for designating a group, nor does it obligate the #TreasuryDepartment to present evidence of wrongdoing. This lack of accountability has raised alarm bells among advocates who see it as a tool for #authoritarian #suppression.

    "#RashidaTlaib Tlaib has been one of the most vocal opponents of the bill, particularly given its timing amidst heightened protests over U.S. support for Israel’s military actions in #Gaza. 'This is authoritarianism,' Tlaib said. 'This bill is designed to silence dissent and give Trump #UncheckedPower to target groups he doesn’t agree with'.'

    "Other progressive lawmakers echoed her concerns. Rep. #SummerLee (D-Pa.) called the legislation 'a giant threat to free speech,' warning that it would allow the government to “label any nonprofit as ‘terrorist-supporting’ without evidence or due process—opening the door to crush opposition and silence dissent.' Rep. #IlhanOmar (D-Minn.) added that 'no one person should have the authority to silence organizations that dare to challenge government policies or speak uncomfortable truths.'

    "Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who is leaving Congress after losing his primary to a candidate backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (#AIPAC), described the bill as 'extremely dangerous.' He cautioned that it 'will sink us further into #authoritarianism. It is an extremely dangerous bill that would give the government unlimited power to stop the work of #humanitarian groups and target political enemies. All without transparency or evidence.'

    While the bill is widely seen as a response to criticism of U.S. support for Israel, its potential impact goes far beyond organizations advocating for Palestinian rights. Costello warned that 'the danger is much broader than just groups that work on foreign policy. It could target major liberal funders who support #PalestinianSolidarity and peace groups who engage in #protest. But it could also theoretically be used to target #ProChoice groups, and I could see it being used against #environmental groups.'

    "#JewishVoiceForPeace Action’s political director Beth Miller described the legislation as 'terrifying,' emphasizing its potential to suppress civil society across the board. “This bill should be a five-alarm fire for anyone who seeks to protect free speech, civil society, and democracy. This is part of a broader #MAGA assault on the right to protest that begins with attacks on #Palestinian rights groups and is aimed at outlawing the #SocialJustice movements that fight for progressive change. This is part of a well-worn authoritarian playbook to dismantle fundamental freedoms.”
