Welcome to a hobby you will turn yourself inside out to justify spending a lot of $ on. However, it's cheaper than therapy and you can show off/gift your creations!

February 26, 1942, Nazis outlawed wearing red hats in Norway. The hats were a symbol of resistance in occupied Norway.

Wear a red hat today, for them, for us.

There's a lot of history intertwined with folklore, but I won't give you a history lesson here 🀣

Yup, and the history traces back to that. Red caps/hats have been used as a sign of resistance for a very, very long time.

Someone released a knock-off pattern for $5 and 100% of the money was donated to various Immigrant Aid programs in MN. They raised over $500,000.00 and counting. It's just fitting that it's also taking red hats back from MAGA

It's inspired by the red hat (nisselue) Nazis outlawed in Norway during occupation once they realized the red hats were a sign of resistance. It's fitting this started in Minnesota since a large number of Norwegians settled there.

It was. Just using the opportunity to push taking red hats back πŸ˜€

The Melt the Ice hats are taking red hats back from MAGA. It's not so easy to generalize red hats anymore.

The increased use of "OMFG" doesn't count.

On a serious note, I imagine there has been an increase in the number of people turning back to their religion(s) for comfort.

You should be standing there with her. Shame on you. You are a coward. Your children are watching as well.

Shame on you. Yet another example of the powerful using citizens to fight. Go stand with her, coward.

I would wager they didn't give in, they were already there.

Greenland provided emergency medical care to a US soldier after evacuating him from a sub. They (US Navy) didn't have whatever they needed to treat him on board, so in asshat's feeble brain, this is a blow to his ego, hence this latest bullshit.

This is true. I worry that this is as far as charges will go because they are gambling that the public will be content with this crumb.

He was arrested for sharing trade secrets, not rape. This isn't justice for her.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

One set of my great-grandparents emigrated to the US from Norway. I doubt they ever imagined their descendants in the USA would revisit the red hat. "Never again" means something.
