I got into this business because of The Washington Post. I was inspired by its Watergate coverage. It’s saddening & maddening to see what’s happening there. Bezos is ruining one of the great—though far from perfect—journalistic institutions. This wasn’t inevitable. It’s the choice of an oligarch.

This volume contains several poems edited by Stuart Curran, including The Cenci. It represents his final completed work, the acme of his stunning career.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

Very interesting project, with 861 entries to date. So far no entries for Shelley, but Coleridge is well represented.

“Our work is a model of federal funding done responsibly and cost-effectively, by returning tax dollars to the people of West Virginia in support of programs they themselves support, create, and execute in their home communities.” - WVa Humanities council on what NEH grant termination is destroying

West Virginia Humanities Council releases statement confirming that DOGE cuts, if they go ahead, will shutter the organization. Full text in image, described there in alt text.

West Virginia Humanities Council, Statement from the Board of Directors The Board of Directors of the West Virginia Humanities Council [the Council], a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, was recently notified by the federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), that support to our Council from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was being terminated. This abrupt termination of long-established and congressionally appropriated NEH funding support for the Council, which serves as the NEH’s official affiliate in and for the Mountain State, if sustained, will cause the closure of all Council activities within West Virginia. The financial support received from NEH represents 50% of the Council’s annual budget. That funding is matched dollar-for-dollar by donations from West Virginians which together provide the funds that enable the Council to host events, provide programs, and support projects that preserve our state’s history and cultural heritage, and promote public discussions about issues that matter to West Virginians. These funds enable the Council to create sustainable partnerships between the public and private sectors which contribute well over a million dollars every year to our state’s cultural economy, in the form of the grants and programs we provide to West Virginia cultural organizations, historical societies, schools, community centers, municipalities, and other entities.

Interest to see Indivisible paraphrasing Percy Shelley's Mask of Anarchy for their upcoming May Day Rally: STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY.
