No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

WHAT a privilege to feature @hmelehy.bsky.social, reading from his translation of EQUINOX ISLAND, Mauritian poet Jean Fanchette's collection of verse "filled with dimly lit landscapes, and seaside expanses." Enjoy this masterful rendering of a haunting, rarely-heard voice.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.
