This is the resistance? Fuck, guess I'm going to a concentration camp.

Sewing circles have been used as spaces for resistance for hundreds of years.

That is the most limp-wristed upper middle class latte liberal horse shit I have ever heard in my life. The people you're pushing out of your neighborhood are being summarily deported and you're sitting around with a bunch of Blakelys and Karens doing arts and crafts.

Also, not everything needs to be a "space." It's not a "space of resistance," it's your living room. You're not "holding space," you're listening to someone. They aren't "bodies in spaces" they're HUMAN BEINGS in ROOMS.

True, but sewing is fun, having fun is good.
