In @newyorkerhumor, an updated “Elements of Style” for 2025. “Use a semicolon to join independent clauses. For example: He’s not even the real President; the other, even weirder billionaire seems to be in charge.” nyer.cm/2QqeUjS

From John F. Kennedy’s remarks at Amherst College on Oct 26, 1963, this quote is one I return to time & time again, drawing strength & solace in the power of poetry to unite us. Now more than ever, it serves us to see the poetry, the extraordinary, in our ordinary lives.

I keep thinking about @KamalaHarris' closing speech in front of Fredrick Douglas Hall at Howard University, how she echoed centuries of our fight to cultivate the truth & integrity that democracy promises. We must fill the night sky with all our light—the light of infinite stars.

Do you support the #FreedomToRead? Because books are on the ballot in 2024. States across the country have already passed laws to make it easier to ban books. And the conservative blueprint #Project2025 would do that on the national level—censoring what can be taught in schools.

Yup, in Ireland we have a President @PresidentIRL that writes poetry and celebrates our poets on their significant birthdays. #pauldurcan
On Monday night, President Higgins read Paul Durcan's poem ‘The Haulier's Wife Meets Jesus on the Road Near Moone’ as part of the event Paul Durcan: 80 at 80 presented by @poetryireland and @GateTheatreDub to celebrate the poet's 80th birthday

If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.

As a Boland scholar, a biographer of women poets, and a TCD alum, this makes me very happy.

Here’s the thing about @JasonReynolds83 being a MacArthur Genius (and also @JackieWoodson ) is that we, the teachers & librarians knew this all along. We, who fight, even at risk, to ensure their voices are in our space(s)… knew they were geniuses and we knew it all along.

Biden: "We don't demonize immigrants. We don't single them out for attacks. We don't believe they're poisoning the blood of the country. We're a nation of immigrants and that's why we're so damn strong."
