I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈‍⬛💔

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 19d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

"To answer you–finches, wrens,
robins & sparrows, and crows join,
rustling their wings, arguing
on a telephone line. A blue house
cacophonous with a cook-out
and all that is
summer music. "

Un-fucking-believable. Israel just bombed the food distribution center of The Sameer Project. There are a number of martyrs and people still trapped under the rubble. Please, please donate to their North campaign if you are able. chuffed.org/project/help...

A building is one fire. Several men are trying to help, one is carrying a child out of the flames.
