"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."
Ravelry, a community website for knitters, crocheters, and other textile fans, has banned all content supporting President Trump and his administration in what it described as a stand against white supremacy.
In a statement posted to their website, the administrators wrote that posts, projects, patterns, and profiles supporting the president are no longer allowed. The site is the most popular online forum for knitting fans and counts millions of users, as well as 80,000 followers on Instagram and 100,000 on Twitter.
"We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy," the Ravelry statement said. "Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy."

Fascism is at the core of the LW Democrats
My God, TDS is a real thing isn’t it. Trump Derangement Syndrome, it makes you believe something without one shred, one iota of evidence. Maybe they are referring to that time Trump called KKK recruiter Robert Byrd his mentor. Oh wait, that was Hillary.
Ping for tomorrow
That’s perfect.
The worst aspect of it is that they are banning people on the basis of a lie. They have defined-down “white supremacism” to mean anything that is traditionally Christian, traditionally patriotic, and which adheres to the common-sense notion that our bi-partisan immigration laws must be enforced, and that failure to protect the borders will destroy the country through uncontrollable and unsustainable immigration.
When my “Distiilng Shine for Amateurs” bans conservatives I’ll get PO’d. I can’t knit and tend the still at the same time.
Guess that passes for tolerance from them?
I’m thinking there might be business opportunities here.
Every time a previously non-political company gets pozzed and pulls something like this, start a competitor. They’ve created a market for you, handing you half of their customers.
Well, that right there is funny and doesn't mean what they think it means.
I wish we had some kind of LIKE feature here.
Where do they get this Shlt? One person says it, and the lemmings jump.
I say if they’re so anti Trump, they must be pro-abortionists, and so I’m anti-them.
I wonder if this taking of a stand coincides with the realization that President Trump is winning in 2020? If not why now.
Excuse me, but why ON A KNITTING SITE would you be talking politics? If I’m not mistaking, 99% of Knitters (ok my grandmother’s knitting group) are white...should we have Knitters Stamp...?
But advocating for and providing multiple patterns for p***y hats isn’t really political /s
“We are inclusive...now GET OUT!”
They are simply wrong. Trump is not a white supremacist. Does that matter at all to these people?
A lot of this is based on the “fine people” hoax, the lie that Trump was praising white supremacists as fine people.
Trump Didn’t Call Neo-Nazis ‘Fine People.’ Here’s Proof.

These idiots accusing him of white supremacy should be labelled as white supremacists because Trump has done Way Way more for the minority communities than they certainly have- and these morons are trying to drive minorities away from Donald Trump who is trying to help them- what have these morons done for the minorities? Not nearly as much as the trump administration has! These morons don’t want minorities prospering under trump- THEY are the minority haters- Not Donald Trump!
