Among Communists by Sinéad Morrissey: memoir captures North in pressure cooker of weirdness Memoir expresses an attitude of observation that rhymes quietly with poetry, a revelation of a writer and her experience

fascinating review by @dedalusdenaries.bsky.social in @irishtimes.com of poet Sinead Morrissey's memoir. This is a book I have to get. (I did not know that weird detail about Ciaran Carson and The Star Factory's beginning, though I've read his book) www.irishtimes.com/culture/book... 1/2

Hardback cover of the memoir Ghosts of Death Fourth Street: My Family, A Death, and the Hills of Duluth by Laurie Hertzel

I’m always up for a ghost story & was taken in by the portrayal of Guv, the antiheroic patriarch of this family of twelve. A pleasure and a triumph @lhertzel.bsky.social!

Oh thank you so much! Thank you very much

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

@lhertzel.bsky.social and Chris Hewitt next week!!

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Dear @housedemocrats.bsky.social please stop asking me for money. I won't send you a dime until you start making some noise and fighting this corrupt and violent regime with all your might. Inspire me. Give me hope. Don't ask for handouts.

Excellent, devastating column.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Thank you, Rep. Omar!

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

every single Republican is complicit in allowing this man to remain in power.

Hell of an Easter message of peace from our prez: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
