REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

We’re building a movement in NYC that’s strong enough to push back against Trump’s fascist takeover and attacks on U.S. cities.

Across each borough and on every block, we’re organizing to protect NYC and our communities—but it’s going to take all of us.

Blue States: It Is Time For Soft Secession Democratic run State and County Govts contribute 71% of the United States economy, and it's past time they flexed their muscle to protect our humanity

It is the moral, ethical, and yes legally right for Democratic States and Cities to engage in Soft Secession by withholding federal taxes. This would not violate the Supremacy Clause, has immense precedent in US history, & the time to act is NOW.

A manuscript charter, with faded lines of text, stains and a signature of Anne of Kiev. Image from Wikimedia

It's just two words, but a personal favourite find in a medieval manuscript is this signature of Anne, a princess of Kievan Rus and Queen (Regent) of France.

Written on a 1063 charter, it reads "АНА РЪИНА" ('ana rъina' ~ 'Anne Queen'). The language is Old French, but the script is Cyrillic!

I wish mine had taught me… I’m trying to learn now…

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Powerful words, Stephen.

The so-called religious rights condemnation of the shooting of Charlie Kirk is rich. The GOP the "PRO-GUN" party. When dead people became an acceptable price to pay to preserve the Second Amendment rights of rednecks the NRA became a DOMESTIC TERRORIST organization.
Do something about it fuckwads

A lunar eclipse over Kyiv. 🌕
I couldn’t see it from my side -
Clouds hid the sky.

But the city center looks incredible tonight.
As if Kyiv is keeping a little miracle just for itself.

May this light be enough for all of us
For one more night,
For one more breath,
For one more dream.

A lil painting based off my pet shrimps molt! I think they look so cool and ghostly

Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!

When the world is burning, it is art that nurses the soul. Make it, support it, feel it. It is the best of humanity and it is everywhere that people are.

If anyone wants to read along with me, I’ve started The Name of the Rose and would love to share the journey
