Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Followers of my feed know I'm a grackle fan and a Star Wars Rebels fan. I have the Rebels starbird tattooed to my ribcage. I've been overjoyed to see all these state birds turned into Rebels starbird, and @sjdport57.bsky.social came up with a fantastic one for Texas with a grackle. Note the fry.

The worst thing about scientists moving the hands of the doomsday clock forward is having to adjust the time on the doomsday clock in your car.
