Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.

WHHHHAAAATTT???? How? How? How? ‘98! Published in ‘98! Ms Butler. I’m shaking. How did you know that the political candidate would even use “Make America Great Again” as the slogan. You were only a decade or so late. Wow. The coincidence is mind blowing. #earthseed #gobsmacked #pott #booksky #pots

"In the beginning there was only chaos. From the chaos the Goddess Eurynome rose. She created the sky & sea... She spun around, creating a whirlwind. She rubbed the wind between her hands & created the serpent Ophion, with whom she mated...turned herself into a dove & laid the Cosmic Egg." #Folklore

There was an urgent appeal filed earlier today seeking to block the deportations as the migrants did not receive sufficient due process. And well, they won, at least for now. Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissented. #WEARETHEMEDIA

Sen. Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador: “My main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.”

We're always told we 'can't afford' to lift JobSeeker or the pension. It's nonsense. "We're so rich we can drop a lazy $360 billion on nuclear subs we didn't know we needed. But when it comes to helping unemployed people, 'Oh, money doesn't grow on trees.'" @richarddenniss.bsky.social on #QandA.

All hail to the petty, empty, hating liar in chief. Act like a dictator, a bitter king. It’s all that constant ignorance, hatred will bring. All our hallowed traditions, ideals torched in a fire of twisted rage. #poetry #TheTrumpYears #poets #booksky #books

The Bookbinder of Jericho (that’s Jericho as in Oxford, UK) is a compelling story of Town and Gown in the time of WW I. Well worth a read. And @somervillecollege.bsky.social is more or less one of the characters
