#knitting myself a Wurm hat. It’s a very relaxing, easy pattern. 🧶 is Plucky Knitter Snug Worsted www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky
Partially knit gray hat with pink stripes being held in the air with my hand. The gray stripes are reverse stockinette which gives the hat nice texture.
In the background of the picture is an unlit Christmas tree and 2 windows with closed blinds.

I think what Trump is actually saying here is that "they had no choice" but to plead guilty, because the justice system was rigged against them. In any case, the message is the same: He's pardoning all the January 6 insurrectionists, including those convicted of assaulting cops. ALL OF THEM.

second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K.
Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104.
Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure.

NEWS CENTCOM says US forces bombed over 75 targets in central Syria today. The targets, CENTCOM says , were “known ISIS camps and operatives.”
Dec. 8, 2024
Release Number 20241208-01
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TAMPA, Fla. - U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted dozens of precision airstrikes targeting known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria, Dec. 8.
The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.
The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple U.S. Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s.
Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties.
CENTCOM, together with allies and partners in the region, will continue to carry out operations to degrade ISIS operational capabilities even during this dynamic period in Syria.
"There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," said General Michael Erik Kurilla, "All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way."

Screenshot of article text, which reads: One measure would ask voters to amend the state constitution to define life as beginning at conception, declaring that embryos are people with rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
