Many thanks to the @vtdigger staff for this summary of how #Vermonters and #Vermont have already been significantly impacted by the first year of Trump's second presidency:

We're not the only ones! It's gotten so much harder to get by and hard to see all your loved ones, friends, and neighbors struggling as well. Especially the refugees and immigrants in our community who have had to — and continue to! — work so much harder to be here.

Will the mittens be back? We Vermonters get decades out of wool mittens.

Shout out for the hand crafted mitten. Mine are in my bureau drawer. Maroon wool with cream accents, c. 1972 from my Gramma Bea.
