Horrifying to discover he went to my tiny highschool and was six years ahead of my daughter who also went there. It really is tiny—just 30 or so in each grade.

We just rewatched that just so I could see the “walk like John Wayne scene.”

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

“‎There are growing fears that 10 young protesters on death row in Iran could be executed soon after some of their families were reportedly called in for a final visit. ‎Global silence on these executions has given authorities the green light to accelerate hangings.” ‎⁧‫#میدان_علیخانی‬⁩

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

H-how…

For no other reason than cruelty, Trump is threatening to deport Haitians who are contributing to the Massachusetts economy. It's wrong. Congress should reinstate TPS protections, not let Trump rip people out of communities and send them into immediate danger.

A limestone statue of a couple, Yuny and his wife Renenutet. She sits beside him, one arm looped around his back. She holds a menat, a beaded necklace shaken like a rattle in temple rituals for the goddess Hathor. Still carrying its original paint.

Every person this administration wrongly deported should be granted asylum and a path to citizenship. Won’t even begin to right wrongs like this. But it’s a place to start.

Terrific answer from the great historian David Blight. Museums aren't there to inform us of all the old answers, but to inspire for us all the new questions.

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.

Wow that seems like it came from a million years ago.

what does "sidestep laws" mean

Mood right now, I can’t deny it.

Statement from Abbe Lowell and Marilyn Bednarski, my emphasis:

On Thursday, ICE needlessly detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a local Seattle small business owner with no criminal history. This is a man who is married to an American citizen and with deep ties to our local community who was working hard to pursue a legal pathway to lawful permanent residence.

A Polish-born woman in Des Plaines who “had done everything right” has been in ICE custody for the past year. Green Card for 20 years, sought citizenship. “And it didn’t matter.” www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/27/i...

Take notes as to which elected officials have been playing footsie with ICE vs. those playing hardball. And I don’t mean only considering records in an election year. We need a rating system. Haitian immigrants, in particular, play an integral role in the Commonwealth’s world-class medical system.

#booksky #poetry #poetrysky With all the buzz about The Odyssey, this one is very relevant

What a crazy, disgusting, question to have been asked. Shocking.
