I’m so sorry for your loss. Thanks for the poem.

Some critics say that America's rapid decent into fascism is unfortunate.

Still hanging around from Turtle Tuesday

Sotomayor’s dissent in the DOE decision is worth reading. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The majority’s written opinion attempting to rationalize its utterly indefensible ruling would be worth reading too, except it doesn’t exist.

This sounds really cool.

If you had a nickel for every use of “well he’s never acted that way around ME” that I’ve heard in the last 20 years, you could stand next to a pop machine and force it to spit out Diet Cokes for a year and a half.

That’s a great photo of you!

Archaeologists discover 3,500-year-old city in Peru Researchers believe Peñico served as a trading hub linking ancient Pacific coast communities with those living in the Andes and Amazon.

I love the circular plazas that the Caral designed in their cities.

I went to college in 1997. My mother was a widow, a refugee, and couldn’t help me pay for it. There is no way I would be able to afford college if it was 2025 & the bill US Congress just passed was the law of the land. There are millions of people like me. What a shame.

I keep seeing people using "luddite" with little understanding of its violent history, and I really want people to do more reading.

I did not know much about it myself until I read this post by @swordsjew.bsky.social but damn, do I sympathise with the Luddites now. Their cause is ours.

This is Monty and Charlie. Monty's back legs are paralyzed. But that doesn't mean he can't race his brother on walks. 14/10 for both (TT: amqzak)

I’ll never forgive Congress for its role in robbing the backs of the working and middle classes to enrich themselves and corporate America. That is all I have to say about the “big beautiful bill.”

I knew her back in the day. she’s a lovely person.

I am glad I was able to meet him a couple of times through the rooftop poetry club at Buff State when I was a grad student. He was such thoughtful and insightful person.

Close-up of a Stock Dove, showing its soft grey feathers, glossy black eye, and a hint of iridescent green and purple on the neck. Its slight upturned beak and gentle expression give the impression of a serene - and mysteriously knowing - smile, set against a softly blurred green background.

You have been visited by the smiling Stock Dove.

It grants you great wisdom and fortune.

Wow.

Sheldon Silver and Joe Bruno had a conversation with me and a friend in an elevator in Empire State plaza after doing research in the NYS archives.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

“They Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case “We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

I’d be down for that if both teresa and john young were honored together.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
