Honored to be partnering with @homelesslaw.bsky.social and @childrens-rights.bsky.social for an @splcenter.org UN side event on youth justice. These are #humanrights issues the Trump administration is refusing to hear about by abandoning its obligation to participate in the Universal Periodic Review

I must quibble with one thing in @jamellebouie.net’s newsletter: Trump’s official portrait may have “supposedly” been inspired by his mugshot, but I’ve seen something that’s a much more compelling possibility. On the left, a German newspaper covering Hitler becoming Chancellor.

It’s dark chocolate - gotta be delicious.
I recently made my daughter’s wedding cake (see photo)(that’s my niece, who was helping me out). While I am an amateur baker, I am NOT an expert with cakes and have no piping skills so I used edible dried flowers. Pretty happy!
