How about a National Holiday to celebrate Union Victory Day? A serious suggestion. #UnionVictoryDay

jerome-k-jerome.bsky.social @jerome-k-jerome.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Tomorrow is April 9 - a special day in the history of the US -- Union Victory Day. On April 9, 1865 Robert E Lee surrendered. This was, per wiki, an event that "signaled the end of the four-year-long war. It triggered a series of subsequent surrenders across the South...."🇺🇸 #UnionVictoryDay

Local cops should be focused on local crime. Today I'm announcing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to stop ICE from deputizing police to do a federal agency’s job.

Work on the Gateway Tunnel is now halted, with federal funding still frozen. Thousands of jobs on the line. Billions in economic benefits at risk. All because Donald Trump is on a revenge tour. We’re fighting this illegal action to deliver for New Yorkers.

I love American literature. Updike, Salinger, Roth, and Steinbeck are my literary heroes. Also a big fan of the journalism of Studs Terkel. To my dying day, I don’t think I will ever truly understand where all the cool Americans went. It’s a tragedy for America and the world.
