A photo I took at the Singer Café in the Jewish Quarter, Krakow, several years ago. Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau and Schindler's Factory was one of the most powerful, deeply moving experiences of my life. We must never forget. And never assume that it can't happen again. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
We honor the memories of the 6 million Jewish people, and millions more, viciously murdered at the hands of the Nazi regime.
We reaffirm our pledge to rooting out antisemitism and hate in all its forms, and vow to be the light in times of darkness.
Just a mini, personal celebration: I'm currently almost 40,000 words into my first novel. Alongside full-time teaching and an Education Master's in Additional Learning Needs, I'm happy with the progress. 🩷

2/Dreams, like books, stacked
high and safe.
And there is a pristine place
inside, which is only love--
which no authority can touch.
But still they force men to make
the boats that house them,
and boys to build the blocks
that hang them, and it has
always been this way.

1/The snow sounds like an earache.
The sun hides his face.
The silver line above the flat sea
cuts across the waste of the day.
There are brighter skies, I know.
Grass made vivid by rain.
Kites gliding in the windless light.
🎯🎯
We sit in the veil
of all that hurts us
so that, soon,
we may meet
behind it.
Like children
who have slipped
beyond
the stone wall
into a secret garden.
Sensing,
without instruction,
what the
solemn world
has forgotten.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.
WSJ says ICE is lying.
Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies
Our government killed a man yesterday. And instead of demanding & opening an investigation into the killing, our government IMMEDIATELY labeled the man a “domestic terrorist.” Immediately.
That’s what fascist regimes do. It should send a chill down the spine of every American.
They murdered a nurse who cared for military veterans & then called him a terrorist.
Today is Dydd Santes Dwynwen here in Wales. A Welsh day of love named after Saint Dwynwen. Wherever you are, I wish you love, peace, happiness and friendship. ❤️🏴
If any of these people are a source of inspiration to you:
Daniel & Philip Berrigan
Thomas Merton
Pema Chodron
Johnny Cash
Leonard Cohen
Joni Mitchell
Richard Rohr
John Dear
Thomas Keating
Thich Nhat Hanh

We should definitely be friends. ❤️
Vile, insulting, wilfully cruel.
Disgraceful.
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Thank you, George. I so admire your courage & intellect. You give me hope. From my little corner of the UK, I am so deeply sorry for the horrors being inflicted upon ordinary Americans by the Trump administration. I, too, have been upset all day. God bless you all, and give you strength. ❤️🙏
And how the mice feasted
On our seedlings in the dark.
She’ll listen as she peels,
Though nothing at all is a surprise.
We’ll smile then at the illusion of parting
And how it once made us weep.
#poetry #grief
I’ll find her again one day
In an empty room by the sea.
Peeling apples precisely
Into a plastic bowl.
There will be no sorrow, no regret. No great reunion.
I’ll sit beside her, slip my hand
Into the fleshy nook of her elbow,
And tell her of this gentle summer
And the commotion of school.
Please. 🙏
In tears over here in the UK. When is enough enough? This is utterly surreal, nightmarish and sickening. I am so sorry. Sending love, prayers and strength to all Minnesotans and Americans who are scared, angry and protesting against the cruelty and corruption of the Trump administration. 💔
I'd love to stay up for the Bears game but it's late in the UK & I'm old (that's what teaching does to you!) So I'm planning to get up early & watch it. Have silenced all notifications & am going to put a post-it note next to my phone to make sure I avoid checking online... 😅🤦♀️ LET'S GO CHICAGO! 🧡🐻🏉
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Even though Maduro is an evil criminal who stole an election, and is probably guilty of the charges in the indictment, the operation to seize him brazenly violated domestic and international law.
Welsh pilgrimage #1 (planning to do 40 pilgrimages in my 40th year 🏴❤️). St. Lawrence's Norman Church, Lavernock. Such a beautiful, cold, bright day.
If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?
Just checking what the standards are these days.
