Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals. That amounts to $456,621 per hour. But how are you doing?

At some point WaPo just becomes Jeff's blog site for talking about how great capitalism is and how everyone should love Jeff.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off.

Moon phases aren’t checklists. They’re invitations. Say yes when it feels right. #witchcraft #witchsky #witch #intuitivewitch #intuition #intuitivewitchcraft

to my #witches on #witchsky and #occultsky 🐈‍⬛ your ancestors are watching, and listening, even when you choose to remain silent and neutral, they are watching, and listening. may you remember that during every ritual time.

Witch Tip: Keep a record of the internal/external conditions surrounding your spellwork. Patterns may emerge over time that can help you better tailor your future workings. For example, you may find your spells are consistently more or less successful depending on specific circumstances. #WitchSky

Folk magic often stayed quiet for practical reasons: sacredness, safety, avoiding mockery. Micropractice: do one tiny ritual today that you tell no one about. One minute of candlelight, one line in your journal, one hand on your forehead saying, “I’m with you.” Private magic counts. #witchsky

Magick isn’t about forcing outcomes. It’s about alignment, awareness, and responding with intention. 🌙 #WitchSky

Progress isn’t linear. It spirals, pauses, doubles back – and still counts. 🌀💫 Be kind to where you are today. 💜 #WitchSky

Your practice doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be valid. Magick adapts to the witch, not the other way round. 🔮💫 #WitchSky

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo

You don't need to liken what happened to Renee good to what happened to Jews in Germany. You have to liken it to what your ancestors did to Black people here about 150 years ago because guess who the Nazis learned from? YOUR FOREBEARS. For fucks sake.

$1.5T for the military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $470M to send National Guard into cities $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

It absolutely won't stop the violence. But it will seed doubt in the masked men committing crimes, and seed confidence in their targets. It's a small bit of support, a message of "you're not crazy!" as the slave catchers are pointed out as what they are.

I have a thought for Minneapolis and other cities under siege. It will sound counter-intuitive as hell. It is psychological warfare. Start posting signs everywhere in multiple languages about immigration rights. Short ones. "Only if it's signed by a judge you can call."

I also want to point out that "tie up his nature" and limp bits spells can also be cast on phallic objects. #witchsky

"Personal choices" is the rhetoric of power over. NO ONE chooses to be unhoused when the choice is anything remotely fair.

For #magicalresistance Witches: The baneful work is important, but it's running into too many cooks issues. It is also important to work magic to: * Protect the vulnerable * Manifest a healthier world Pick a single cause, like "everyone has housing." #witchmadness #witchsky

Just saw a thread full of witches discussing what phase of the moon was best for anti-ICE magic. Here's the only lessons you will EVER need in magical timing: You act when you need to act. Fuck the moon. Hope this helps ✨️ #witchcraft #pagan #occult #witchsky #bruja #hex
