Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

I know we've all seen it already. But I honestly think this is the defining moment of our time. Past generations couldn't have believed it would happen. Future generations won't believe it could have happened. But here we are, bang in the moment. Lucky, lucky us.

supreme accidental comic timing in Commons just now during PMQs: Keir Starmer: “there is only one party leader who has shown he will say anything, no matter how divisive, if he is paid to do so” Speaker (calling the next question): “Nigel Farage”

Intl. women's day has come and gone, but there are still a ton of amazing women who deserve their flowers. Here's a few more of my favorite books by women. ONE FOR ALL by @lillielainoff.bsky.socialis a really fun YA gender-bent reimagination of THE THREE MUSKETEERS with great POTS representation.

Graphic that reads "More Books by Women! Quick reviews of some fiction books authored by women, which deserve more love." Shows covers of all books mentioned in the post.

One of the most remarkable objects in #Pompeii is a marble table support with P. Casca Longus inscribed on it. Longus was the 1st assassin to stab Julius Caesar on #IdesOfMarch (today in 44 BC). On his death Longus’ possessions were auctioned & this table was bought by a Pompeian

A white marble table leg in the form of a lion head and descending into a claw as the foot. The view is from above and since there is no table top the inscription of P. Casca Long can be seen engraved into the table top support.View across an atrium of the so-called House of Casca Longus (he never lived here!). To the left a blue painted wall. In the centre-right an impluvium basin with a circular ceramic cistern head nearest to us on one side. On the far side the white marble tripod table support.

Hi 👋 I wrote (retold) a book… you may have heard of it? Preorder now! Geni.us/theodysseybook In all seriousness, I am SO proud of this. It’s the Odyssey, for children, but most of all it’s THE Odyssey. Faithful to Homer, contextualized and nuanced… and brightly coloured just like the ancient world!

A promotional image for a new book, the Odyssey a Modern Retelling by Liv Albert with the caption coming June 2026. The book is brightly coloured and illustrated.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
