US Supreme Court backs Trump on aggressive immigration raids The U.S. Supreme Court again backed President Donald Trump's hardline approach toward immigration on Monday, letting federal agents proceed with raids in Southern California targeting people for deportation based on their race or language.

A dangerous moment for all who believe in civil liberties and the rights of individuals. SCOTUS, w/out explanation, just green lit the Trump Admin’s racial profiling.

Detaining people based on their ethnicity is unconstitutional & un-American. Another shameful decision by this Trump-stacked Court.

Rachel’s Garden Rachel’s Garden is a half-pi shawl that is worked top-down beginning with a garter tab. Β Just as a garden flourishes with care and perseverance, this shawl is a symbol of resilience, comfort and beauty in life's most difficult seasons. Β Named for a beloved family member whose courage and grace in the face of cancer, Rachel's Garden is the embodiment of that courage and grace. The half pi shape gently hugs the shoulders, blooming with floral motifs in both lace and mosaic. Β May it wrap you - or someone you love - in hope, healing and love.

At the end of January I walked into my LYS and said β€œI need a Dissent cardigan!” By the time it was finished and the buttons arrived, the weather became to warm to wear it. Not happy about the current cold snap but I’m very happy to wear my cardigan!

When I set Feb. 28 as the release date for Dock Street, it was months ago. A lot has changed since then. As a small business, any time you purchase a pattern, a larger business gets a portion of the sale. So in support of today’s economic blackout, Dock Street will now come out March 1st.
