I moved to Nashville about three years ago. It’s been a big change from Philadelphia. It’s weird living in a red state, even in a blue dot. Sometimes I feel out of place as hell. Sometimes I wonder what the fuck am I doing here?
And then I see something like the image above, posted by a friend of mine who was there when ICE tried to haul away a neighbor who happened to be undocumented. I blurred the poster’s name, because who knows what vindictive shit might result from resistance to this low-rent putsch by a Gestapo that’s somehow even more banal and mentally deficient than the original.
The Nashville Scene has more on the day Nashville said no:
Angela Glass, who lives across the street, tells the Scene that one of her neighbors told her to come outside after seeing the ICE agents and police vehicles. She says they were not going to let ICE take their neighbor away.
“These people, they’ve been living there for 14 years,” Glass says. “They don’t bother anybody. Our kids play with their kids. It’s just one big community. And we don’t want to see anything happen to them. They’re good people. They’ve been here 14 years, leave them alone. To me, they’re considered Americans.”
Another neighbor who’d been on the scene all morning could be overheard saying, “They came to the wrong community on the wrong day.”
Read the whole thing. These people are goddamn heroes. With any luck this Facebook livestream of the entire incident will work for you (the hilariously inappropriate music was automatically applied by Facebook). If not, here’s a report from the local news:
Sometimes it’s weird to live in Nashville. In many ways, I’m a fish out of water. But today I could not be prouder to call that city my home. Love thy neighbor, y’all.

But wait…that’s socialism!
Spiral crochet is very simple and when worked with more than one shading has a great time results. It is equal to working reliable rounds. When you use more than one shade of yarn, at that point you’ll begin with them from the first starting point of the winding. There are a couple of extra means when working with more than one shading; though, they don’t make it increasingly worrying. Along these lines, don’t give that a chance to hinder you. The most widely familiar sew winding theme is the two-shading winding circle. There are many approaches to sew a winding — today, we’ll skill two approaches. You’ll see that the main version is simpler to knit, though the following choice creates an all the more externally striking outcome.
The mass of the instance constant lonely hues that proceed in a winding, never under any situation changes to an exchange yarn or shading in that rise round. The two hues stay discrete and winding around one a new.
Both of your systems include halting one shading and start one more in each round, with a shading run where it is changed… which is somewhat the totally off-base search for a winding. While these are both amazing events to stitch a hover without joining rounds almost, a winding, one should just take a gander at your versus the instance you tinted to see neither one of the methods is a particularly stylish approach to sew a “winding” as a plan includes. Knit spirals are a great deal of fun to make. The theme looks as two hues pursue each other around and around however appear to never meet. Spirals are to fasten on the grounds that they make them jump forward and backward between two unique skeins of yarn as you work twofold stitches in the round. When you figure out how to sew a winding, it’s a basic and with the system.
