We are not here to debate.
We are here to dismantle.
ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.”
It’s intentional.
It’s deadly.
This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power.

My 10-year-old niece is a beautiful & prolific writer. She has written many stories and is working on a novel. Do you know of any books for pre-teens (or young teens) that might guide and inspire her? Thank you in advance!

@herdyshepherd.bsky.social Absolutely loved The Farmer's Wife, The Shepherd's Life, and The Place of Tides. Many thanks to you and Helen for enriching my life. Thank you for doing the work and exercising the gift of writing.

I have just finished reading the novel "Behind You is the Sea" by Susan Muaddi Darraj. A beautiful book and so well-written, I hung on every word. Can't recommend it enough.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Congratulate Williams College and President Maud Mandel on their courage and principles!

"Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal answered: 'Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.'” Thank you for your courage, Kai.

That is brilliant! Thank you!

Donate now to @npr.org and @pbs.org. Last night, Trump signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cease federal funds for both media entities. If you value free speech, balanced reporting, and entertainment for adults and kids alike, donate right now. Thank you!

#GreyhoundLines Thank you for your principles and courage to stick by them!

#Harvard filed a lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts, accusing the government of unleashing a broad attack as “leverage to gain control of academic decision-making at Harvard.” So good to see this show of strength, reason, and sanity. Every academic institution should fight back. @harvard.edu

The cool thing about this vac is that it is almost silent. I started using it without turning it on, with just the grooming attachments. As Piper got used to it, I could gradually increase the volume (and thus the suction). In a few days, she went from hissing at it to begging for it. Daily fun.

Same River, Twice: Putin’s War on Women by Sofi Oksanen – review This harrowing study of the Russian leader’s weaponising of sexual violence argues that misogyny goes hand in hand with imperialism

I have huge respect for author #SofiOksanen. This new book is a devastating reality. Such courage to write it. The Russians make Trump almost seem benign--yet they are who Trump admires. tinyurl.com/ysfkc45e

@rickygervals.bsky.social You may need these.

Try vacuuming. It fixed mine.
