Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.
this is the kind of design costume designers make to tell you who are the bad guys in a space movie
There was a very active critic of the history syllabus in the 90s. Very wise people scoffed at how much time kids were forced to spend learning about the Nazis and democratic decay in the 30s. Turns out we should have gone much harder.
“Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.” Mary Oliver.
Sometimes it takes a villain, to show us who the real villains are.
AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

I have just found this by the garden fence in Hoyland Common. A poem for our times. @imcmillan.bsky.social
It’s hard to get the emotions I am feeling into 300 characters The blatant racism displayed in Northern Ireland these last few days is abhorrent What happened in this poem happened this morning in Belfast, not Baltimore. But the person who said it was an adult, not a child. #poetry #poemoftheday
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” honoring George Harrison, featured Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Dhani Harrison, Marc Mann, Steve Ferrone, and a killer closing guitar solo by Prince. (Edited for format)
It’s a terrible time. I share your sadness, anger, and fear. But prior to this daymare, too many of us had fallen asleep at the wheel. We needed to be reminded of what America is all about — what it should be about — in order to revive it — and reclaim it, for and by the people. Hear me out...

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

You know what no one talks about anymore? The Epstein Files, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But there's talk about opening the Straits.

When Charlie Kirk died Nigel Farage gave a speech where he condemned the "quite despicable" comments about him and promised Reform candidates would "never, ever engage in such conversations" about its opponents. Will he be condemning Trump?
You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
No Trump supporter, past or present, should expect forgiveness or demand reintegration into civil society. There is no coming back from what they've done.
She is a protector of monsters; she too is plainly a monster.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is Pamela Jo Bondi contemptuously flipping her hair (which is SCREAMING for some purple shampoo) when asked to acknowledge the Epstein survivors seated directly behind her. She couldn't even be bothered to turn her head. What a rude and deeply unpleasant person.
