Hospitals in Ruins β€” The New Yorker Doctors are delivering lifesaving care in a ravaged health-care systemβ€”and risking their own lives in the process.

Without adequate and sufficient medical supplies, Palestinian doctors perform life saving procedures everyday, determined to save their people. Yet, the world continues to supply the bombs, aiding the destruction of humanity. Excellent reporting from Clayton Dalton.

What an incredible season for Palace! In a season that hasn’t been the most exciting around the PL, Palace has been a consistently exciting team each week. Looking for to an exciting FA Cup Final #cpfc

Enjoy this drawing I did from earlier in the season.

Max Fried's dominant outing vs. Rays | 04/20/2025 Max Fried dominates the Rays, allowing just two hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings while also flashing the leather

Max Fried showing why he’s a clear CY Young favorite. The guy does exactly what a CY Young caliber pitcher does, K’s guys and most importantly gets a ton of ground ball outs.

Bristol City continues is playoff push with a gorgeous win against Sunderland. Dickie with a screamer in the second half to get momentum going. Love to see the robins in this position.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

The Shoulders We Stand On is a read that highlights the various movements and campaigns from the 1960’s,70’s and 80’s that challenged the racist ideas of British society by collective action of the people. #booksky #readmorebooks

Crystal Palace and Manchester United might be close in the table but they couldn’t be more distant in every aspect of football. Palace is better managed, well organized on the pitch and most importantly, they have a squad that looks and plays like a Premier League squad. #cpfc #mufc

The story is fun, adventurous and action packed. The artwork is excellent and the writing was storytelling at its finest. It is also an excellent critique of history and how authors such as Twain used writing to sugar coat and skew our perceptions of history.

Big Jim and the White Boy reimagines and even expands on Twain’s, The Adventures of Huck Finn. It is centered around Jim but weaves in several generations of storytelling from Jim’s family ranging from the 1930’s to present day. #booksky #history

As we move into an administration led by a known racist we need to continue to resist and put Black people at the center of history. Read this book and celebrate the rich diversity of Black lives in this country. #booksky #books #readmorebooks

Starting in the 1800’s Black people were negotiating contracts, incorporating businesses, filing lawsuits and so much more which paved the way for the modern Movement of civil rights. #booksky #books

Before the Movement is an extremely timely book that looks at the history of civil rights in America through law. Penningroth details the many ways black people used law to protect their rights and interest long before the modern Movement. #booksky
