This weeks #showmeyourknits is textured stitches. I’m working on a really pretty pattern but I’m working on the short row neck shaping rn so haven’t gotten to the textures yet. So here’s a throwback I don’t think I’ve posted. #knithats 🧶

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Trump can't govern. He failed last time, leaving the economy in the toilet with COVID out of control. He's failing again, wrecking just about everything he touches, from NATO to civil liberties. His profiteering off of a public office is criminal. $4 billion richer? Fascist to the core.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking
Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

A quote from Alex Pretti ICU RN, MN VA. He spoke these words over the body if his patient who had died to staff and the veterans family. Today the son shared a video of how Pretti honored his Dad’s life to in turn honor who Pretti was.

His crime was helping a woman they were beating up for nothing. He was an RN, VA ICU. Every RN in this country should walk out off the job. They should definitely demand hospitals keep ICE out of hospitals.

How does one measure the depravity of a nation? I think criminalizing a parents live and devotion for a sick child and detaining the 24/7 caregiver for that child who has now died is a good measure. May Wael RIP. And may his Maher find strength to go on.
