@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is too good for this stupid app.
Her newsletter is free.
This one is painful poetry about the wonders of the world and life and death. The personal & universal.
I never thought anyone could articulate the magic of the natural world the way I experience it, but this is it.

The Nazi regime in DC has now decided that American families who rely on SNAP benefits will not be eating in November.
Yes, you read that right.
No food for Thanksgiving.
Because Nazi republicans in power don't want anyone to see the Epstein files.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

On the first day in office, this President pardoned actual violent insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol.
Now he’s making up shit in Portland to justify using the military AGAINST the American people.
Real POS behavior from this TEMU dictator.

"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice"
Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.

Justice Sotomayor called the order a "gross ... abuse" of the court's authority. Also: Law Dork in the media.

If you are kidnapping your citizens with no due process to take away their freedom and trying to silence media, law firms, and universities for exercising free speech, you don't get to call yourself "Leader of the Free World."
