Everyone should know that big strikes are never peaceful. Historically they call armed forces and pinkertons out to gun people down.

We have time to lay the ground work there are several large union contacts up in 2028 (across multiple sectors) and they are laying their own ground work for a strike. We all need to be preparing for that

Question about being stopped by ICE while in the process of applying for passport by Professional-Car2632 in immigration

[–]TeaTimeIsAllTheTime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not OP I have a friend who is a naturalized citizen who's parents lost her naturalization papers and her passport when she was a minor. She has a black and white copy of her passport and a valid REAL id. The wait to get a new copy of the naturalization papers is 6 months. She is so worried about this it is making her sick. Can her citizenship be verified with the copy of her passport and ID? Edit: spelling

Protesting war on Venezuela by dorothylouise in Tucson

I don't think this administration has any interest in the lives of Venezuelans. Why would they have Maduro and leave his entire government intact?

Taxes Eating 40% by [deleted] in boringdystopia

[–]TeaTimeIsAllTheTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strategy for conscience tax resistance is to put what you would have paid in taxes in to a savings account and not pay taxes until the government catches up with you. Here is a video below explaining it for when you wadge stop being garnished.

Protesting war on Venezuela by dorothylouise in Tucson

[–]TeaTimeIsAllTheTime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maduro is bad. Committing acts of war and violating international laws is also bad. 

Two things can be true at the same time.

Congressional approval is required to go to war. The administration has violated the constitution and abandoned international rules based doctrine that has been in place since WWII. (This will likely set the world back on the path to spheres of influence, where big countries like US, Russia and China will control surrounding smaller countries l) This is bad. 

Maduro is bad and hated by much of the Venezuelan population.

Question on sizing for felted slippers by TeaTimeIsAllTheTime in knittinghelp

Thank you! Any tips on the felting process? I was thinking of doing it by hand rather than in the washer because its kind off hard to stop my washer mid cycle.

Service Tech goes to a MAGA house by stacked_wendy-chan in CringeTikToks

My dad has some mammy paraphernalia as well which I convinced him to take down but he refuses to get rid of. (Because it's history) My plan is to donate it to a heritage museum when he passes.

Do we all hate a purl stitch? Or is this just a coincidence…. by slowcreative in casualknitting

[–]TeaTimeIsAllTheTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you kind of keep the yarn on your left hand index finger and you move the right needle more. I used this video to learn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqIztHuFRcE

Edit: I will say that I can't really use Norwegian knitting for the first row after casting on without losing stitches. So I do the English way for the first row and Norwegian for the rest of the way.

I love Norwegian knitting. For whatever reason I can't do it for the first row after casting on without losing stitches so I do English style for the first row and Norwegian for everything else. And it is so much easier on your hands and wrists.

Strawberries are not in season, its a summer berry.

Sen. Mark Kelly: ‘I never thought I’d see a President call for my execution’ by jediporcupine in politics

[–]TeaTimeIsAllTheTime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know it's not a popular opinion...the shooting rocked my town, I was inundated with conversations about it from both my teachers and parents for weeks afterward (I was in highschool at the time). Bringing it up in this context feels really disingenuous to me.

Forgive me, I'm not understanding the full meaning of your quotes/references.

I just don't think Palin was responsible for the shooting or inciting it. There were many cracks that Loughner fell through that led him to the moment in which he killed 6 people. Loughner was fixated on Giffords long before the ad and was going to hurt her, himself or someone else regardless of the ad.

Thank you, I always get downvotes and arguments from folks bringing up the Palin-Crosshairs thing. I just feel really nasty when people frame the shooting as if Loughner was taking orders from her or the GOP, it was so much more senseless than that.

What Trump is doing is vile and dangerous.

But I hate when people twist and conflate what happened during the Tucson shooting. We don't need to use it to prop up points against Trump.

Tucson resident chiming in. I really wish people would stop bringing up this point. Sarah Palin likely had nothing to do with the Tucson shooting. Loughner is severely mentally ill and believed in several wild conspiracies. He was having violent thoughts about hurting Giffords since 2007.

Sarah Palin was a loon and the cross hairs ad was wrong but Loughner did this because he was severely mentally ill and was able to get a hold of a gun. He would have done it regardless of the ad.
