All the cancellations this weekend gave me time to finish a quilt, but it's too gross to take a decent picture. I moved on to these placemats, which she insisted on trying out #quiltsky

I decided to start cutting my long planned AGF Halloween quilt because my sewing machine was acting up and I'm not quite confident enough that I fixed it to move forward with actually quilting. We'll see how this piecing goes #quiltsky

This is primarily a cash-grab to hand money to his fellow antivax fraudsters. Even if we pretend the issue is unsettled (it's settled), it's simply not possible to allocate $5 billion towards legitimate study of the issue. The money will all go into the pockets of child-killers.

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

Two reminders: First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank. Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:

This from @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social is absolutely chilling. Even though the Trump admin stopped arresting refugees to be taken to Texas for interrogation, it’s still re-interviewing people. Now he’s revealing the depths of weaponization occurring in the system.

DHS has been conducting new interviews with refugees who were already vetted & admitted into the US. According to a former USCIS source with knowledge, Stephen Miller handpicked lawyers to review the re-interviews because "too many people were being reaffirmed as refugees."

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

I really think it's a problem that the Times can't just come out and say that this survey is total bullshit. We've given several billion doses of this thing. The fact that one in four people think they know somebody who has a covid vaccine injury is like asking who thinks the Easter Bunny is real.
