Like her late Italian immigrant mother, @strega54.bsky.social‬ is imagining what could befall her if the US’s slide into authoritarianism continues. #ThisIsAmerica

T#@$p wanted his nephew Fred to "maybe just let (his child with cerebral palsy)die....so he is right up there with his idol Hitler, who instituted the T4 Eugenics program that killed disabled people first. This soulless creature heads our government.

Mother's Day is May 11th!

Maybe they were led astray by the continual sane-washing by the NY Times....

Lickspittle. Toady.

This ridiculous yuck it up "interview" is why I no longer watch CNN "journalists."

A true work of art....

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Thank you. I published all of Jesse's poems in my memoir about him. I read one of them at a Massachusetts Poetry event. An award-winning poet praised it to me. I was overcome. To have this person in the highest position in our land mock the way my son held his hands is just...inhuman.

Washington Post=Pravda. Cancelled you months ago. What a sad demise of a once-great paper.

I stand with Ukraine.

Hero Zelensky has to answer to this fat-faced, eyelinered little FUCK? He deserves the Nobel prize for not throat punching this little piece of shit.

A few years ago when we were under lockdown, I spoke via zoom to Courtney Ruffner's class at Florida State College, where Courtney is the Department Chair of the Language and Literature Department. Courtney assigned my memoir, MA SPEAKS UP to her class and one of…

What My Immigrant Mother Would Say About President Trump Ma may have struggled with English, writes Marianne Leone, but she knew how to parse bullyboys, even in dialect.

I think it may be time to share an essay I wrote during the first regime: www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

ACCURATE.

South Shore friends! #writingcommunity, #booksky, #writingandbooks

Watching Cabaret on TCM and just saw the scene with the young Nazi singing "Tomorrow Belongs To Me." Chills. Not in a good way, either.

Disgraziata!

Yes, we are, enabled by the both-siderism and sane-washing of the NYT.
