If your congressperson hasn’t backed this, call them and tell them to.
It is one tiny step, and of course, it will not change everything. But people need to face consequences for their actions.

146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered.
Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities.

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich."
A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

My immediate reaction to seeing these tiny volumes: 💞Oh, they are cute! …
Evidently so cute they broke Hazlitt’s theory of repeat reading when, in this form, Rousseau’s ‘Eloisa’, which he had long loved, suddenly revolted him 😅 (small, gilt edges, rosy perfume)—at the Palace Green Library, Durham

Sunday morning news: I have figured out an edition of Rousseau 'Eloisa' that is plausibly the one that revolted Hazlitt when he encountered it years after first reading (and loving) the novel in a different edition. Very small, with gilt edges. Perfumed with rose leaves? TBC. Ordered it for £30...

The hottest ticket in Durham this September? Probably not this, but I'm still excited to be giving a talk on Keats's copy of Shakespeare at the Palace Green Library, inspired by the current exhibit of Durham's First Folio📖 @ksaacomm.bsky.social @bars.bsky.social: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/twilight-t...

In Godwin’s Herald of Literature, Godwin ‘reviewed’, among other hallucinated literary works, Fanny Burney’s forthcoming novel Louisa, even ‘quoting’ from it. Ahead of his time, evidently 😂 . Herald indeed.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?
