Online knitting and crocheting community Ravelry has banned all content supporting President Donald Trump, effective June 23.
A statement posted Sunday to the group’s website outlined the new policy:
“We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.
This includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content.”
“We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy,” the statement concluded.

Oh, good grief. Won’t visit there again - there are plenty of places for needlework on the Web.
Just Wow.
Will they ban stuff posing Democrats favorably?
Certifiable idiots
Yeah. That’ll hurt. /S
Throw out the race card and start banning people when you are losing and you know it.
“open white supremacy”
This is idiocy to the extreme. They are promoting intolerance, hate and violence based on a media/liberal lie. When the backlash comes they won’t have a clue that THEY are responsible for what happens.
all 11 of’em will probably die of old age by 2020 anyhow
Never heard of them. Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
I was an avid knitter&crocheter and went to Ravelry quite a lot to get patterns.
It’s been a few years since I’ve gone to the site as their lefty bias was becoming too hard to ignore. Today, after this announcement, I remembered I still had an account there. I permanently deleted it.
Pathetic virtue signaling.
Way to ruin a wonderful site.
my GF just told me the posters there are just nasty people who got kicked off the Etsy forums for being whiny b*tches. No big deal. There are lots of knitting sites out there..
I think that is the first site that should be a “publisher”
and then sued off the internet.
And a 20% discount on brown yarn!
This may come as a surprise, but WE ARE NOW THE AMERICAN COUNTER-CULTURE.
The position of this group is beyond insane. They have made absurd claims without giving a single example to support their position. The tragedy for everyone is they get to vote.
The only thing “undeniable” is that Donald Trump has caused the leftists to go batshit crazy.
It’s good that we get that out of the way, so to speak. I want to know who the nutjobs are around me and mine, the general AO.
It is often said that people go nuts en masse, though only come to their senses one at a time.
