Kilmar Abrego Garcia prayed with his family and embraced his wife before being detained again on Monday by immigration authorities.
He and his family are being unlawfully persecuted only because the infant in the WH can't admit he was wrong.
Shame on Trump and his minions for this!

Labour are no longer the Red Tories, they’re Red Reform
Starmer's Twitter account is wall-to-wall immigrant bashing, and has been for weeks.
You need to know these things if you're living in the Bluesky bubble and think everything's normal with Labour.

My latest article for @neunion.bsky.social Educate magazine is about non-fiction. It's often overlooked when talking about reading in the classroom and it shouldn't be. An exciting non-fiction text can engage readers just as well as any other. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social

Anyone else feel like we need the prequel to the Handmaids Tale to come out? It seems like these current times would be an appropriate precursor to Gilead.

On The Wall by Anne Fine is an outstanding story about the transition to secondary school but, more importantly, it's about the importance of learning to accept yourself and understand the value of calm in a chaotic world. Finley is a delightfully complex protagonist. Loved it.
