Trump did not control the DC guards, so he did not have them ready. But he did invite the riot, which is something.

I expect him to cancel them for 2028, but this is a new thought…

If I appear to want to add you to a chat on FB or Blue Sky, please disregard. It’s not me.

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Deaf Republic (Omnibus) Ilya Kaminsky's new poetic fable, Deaf Republic, recreated for radio.

Here’s the info from 2019: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Let me know if you find it! Ilya himself could not even tell me where it went.

Absolutely. I’m sorry that he said he wouldn’t and then did, but Trump’s pardons would further undermine the rule of law.

The BBC did a fantastic radio dramatization of the book some years ago that I heard but did not record. The recording was not available later in the US, unfortunately.

Brian Frink and I may be giving it another go after our amazing art/writing tour of Scotland last year. You know how to reach one of us for questions.
