I was back in Immigration Court this week, this time for the hearing of a sweet little three-year-old girl, I’ll call her Estrella. She’s been in federal custody, separated from her family for more than 10 months – even though her mom lives here in NYC. The cruelty is truly mind-boggling. 🧵

Against a very busy backdrop (mural? Matisse?), 4 yarnbombs hang on lobby mezzanine railing. Two are maps of DC with “51” at center. Two say “FREE DC.” Colors are red-white-blue.

A NEW
CONSTELLATION
By the DC Stitch Brigade
June 2026
This piece imagines a future where the residents of the District of Columbia are fully represented citizens of the United States. Our nation's flag has changed 26 times since 1777 as the country itself changed. As Americans, we have embraced the shifting weave of a red, white, and blue tapestry as our democracy welcomed more voices into its chorus. We envision a future where the constellation of our nation includes the vibrant star that is DC.
The work is based on the 27th official version of the U.S. flag, adopted in July 1960 after Hawaii became a state. It is made of mixed fiber, 84" by 48", with alternating red and white stripes and a blue field of 51 stars on each side. Fifty of those stars are white. The fifty-first is sparkling and translucent-catching the light and shimmering apart from the rest. It is DC: present, distinct, and full of joy.
As activist Shannon Downey writes,
"Craft is the greatest tool I’ve ever stumbled upon for building community and mobilizing them to take action that will bring about actual social change." The DC Stitch Brigade is a group of local District stitchers advancing social change through their craft in support of a Free DC.

Happy 4th, America, and congratulations on 250 years as a multicolor, mixed-fiber WIP. Like any good stitcher, you started with a plan in mind, stitching blind at times, finding knots + missed stitches, re-sizing as you go, frogging a lot. May this glorious work always improve but never finish.

@freedcproject.bsky.social ’s Keya for the 🙌🏼 win! This reporting and the governors’ responses to it validate FreeDC‘s deliberate campaign to seek out NG from Democrat-led states on streets across DC to highlight just how far they are from 250th events. They erred. The Occupation of DC needs to end!

Wow. As Commander in Chief of the MN Guard you send your troops to be part of the summer surge terrorizing DC and then brag about how serene it is where you are? It feels and sounds like a war zone in DC, if you care. This seems so out of character and is such a betrayal. www.npr.org/2026/07/01/n...
