The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle.

The best reason to become a poete ys that you will make more moneye than you kan figure out what to do wyth. All those poetes flyinge arounde yn their private jets. Sittinge yn private booths at concertes. Addinge yet anothir pool to their thirde vacacioun hous. Poetrye: do it for the moneye.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remembir everye daye ys a goode daye to reach out to a friende and tell them how much you love them. Maybe buy them a booke. Bringe up an olde inside joke. All the sillye thinges and the serious thinges about friendeshippe, thei are all infinitelye valuable. Tyme spent thus wil nevir be regrettid.

Maybe instead of making the debate about whether one supports birthright citizenship, we should frame it as whether we support allowing the president to unilaterally decide which constitutional rights to honor.

A reminder that Trump and his supporters violently attacked the seat of our democracy in 2021. Same people who are trying to frame "No Kings" protesters as the hate America crowd.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can.

FALL FASHION TIPPE - Disappear ynto the woodes of an eveninge, when the skye ys lavender and blue. Call unto the powers that dwell ther, and lo! thei appear yn their glamour and their panoplye, radiant. Aske of them what thei have seen and thei will tell thee: 'sorrow.' Accessorize wyth a scarf.

8/ This surge in political attacks isn't the only existential threat to our democracy. It feels like our experiment is under threat from multiple fronts. Which is why Democrats and Republicans need to start showing more allegiance to our democracy than to party.
