Surely not MINE

Leigh Kunkel @leighkunkel.bsky.social · 16h

Forgive me for being too earnest but ever since reading this Rudyard Kipling poem, Kyle and I have been using "the worm in the wood" as our toast and it makes me feel a little better

A section from the poem "A Pict Song":

We are the Little Folk—we!
Too little to love or to hate.
Leave us alone and you'll see
How we can drag down the State!
We are the worm in the wood!
We are the rot at the root!
We are the taint in the blood!
We are the thorn in the foot!

Hands cheers-ing with a martini and a gimlet

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

It’s a complicated dynamic. Without police at Broadview, the feds escalated at-will, deploying chemical munitions & physical force without provocation. The police presence has provided an argument against deploying the National Guard & ppl haven’t gotten gassed. But it frees ICE agents to grab ppl.
