Proving one again how spineless cowards that have become useful idiots to the #HeritageNetwork that has been steering our country to the ground… no trump is not that smart

I don’t, but I will check him out! Literally, if our local library system carries his work.

I am a retired librarian and often recommended Berry's work. Many of my male patrons also enjoyed Joe Lansdale. Do you know his work? It varies from regional Texas stories to science fiction. Try the Hap and Leonard series.

YouTube video by The On Being Project “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry, A Poetry Film by Charlotte Ager & Katy Wang

Such a beautiful poem and true. Here is an illustrated version of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewB...

I have not, but I will make it a point to do so.

I love this. Thank you for sharing.

He is; thank you.

YouTube video by Stephen Stills - Topic Johnny's Garden

I love this poem so much. Several days ago, I rediscovered "Johnny's Garden" by Stephen Stills (not to be confused with Elton John's "Empty Garden"!) and the themes are similar.

He is one of the greats.

The Peace of Wild Things Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. from Openings: Poems (1968)

My dad used to tell my siblings and me that his favorite sound was silence. I get it now. In the midst of the chaos, in the midst of the turmoil of life in this world and in this head, I sometimes need to remind myself to actively seek silence, and the sounds it lets in.

Donald Trump’s Reckless Infatuation with Nuclear Weapons - FPIF Trump has brought the world closer to nuclear midnight.

I absolutely believe preventing a despotic madman from using nuclear weapons is a worthy goal. Unfortunately, I fear the one most likely to use one is the United States president. And our ramping up Middle East violence does nothing to assuage those fears.

How Florida's domestic terrorism bills could affect student speech Florida lawmakers are considering bills to define 'domestic terrorist'. Free speech advocates warn this could chill campus speech. Here's how.

This bill would let Florida officials label organizations and individuals "domestic terrorists" through a "guilt by designation" process that could be weaponized against those criticizing the government.

Florida state senators must protect our constitutional rights and reject this dangerous bill.

It was disturbing how quickly they jumped in after Anthropic’s concerns were steamrolled.

QUIT ChatGPT NOW !!! 🛢

Its president, Greg Brockman, donated $25m to MAGA Inc, Trump’s biggest Super Pac.

Brockman said his donations were in service of OpenAI’s mission to benefit “humanity.”

Only, ICE is using a screening tool powered by ChatGPT to track YOUR personal information.

I do think some of the rhetoric can be problematic. But some communities are removing books from both school libraries and public libraries. And if the response is “It’s not technically banned because you can get it online and sneak it in,” that rhetorical gamesmanship goes both ways.

I love it! And three years ago was a very good time to start; what a wonderful new tradition.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

This is ENRAGING. Not only did they start an illegal war-without notifying Congress-in which 6 American soldiers and many civilians have died, creating chaos because they have no plan for what happens next

But they left Americans in the Middle East completely stranded and vulnerable on top of it

And regardless of the argument, you won’t convince everyone. Whether an ice cream debate or a political discussion, it’s a matter of finding those persuadable, and making the best case for those willing and able to engage. (2/2)

Me wearing a t-shirt for writing club day. The t-shirt is grey with rainbow coloring to the words that read: “I survived reading banned books and all I got was smarter.”

Today’s high school writing club focused on persuasive writing. Some of what I shared for the kids: there isn’t one right way; it depends on the writer’s argument and skill set, as well as the audience. Logic, emotional appeals, and anecdotes are all tools to sharpen. (1/2)

News: Commanders across dozens of U.S. military bases told troops the war on Iran is part of "God's plan" so Trump can bring about "Armageddon"

News: so Trump can bring about "Armageddon." The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been "inundated" with complaints since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran over the weekend, receiving more than 110 complaints from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East. Journalist Jonathan Larsen broke the story, sharing specific complaints made by troops. One such complaint made by a noncommissioned officer reported that their commander had "urged us to tell our troops that this was 'all part of God's divine plan' and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ." "He said that 'President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth," the NCO continued. "He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy." MRFF told Larsen that over 110 complaints came

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received 110+ complaints from US service members across 30+ sites about commanders using religious rhetoric

Including calling the war with Iran "part of God's plan" and Trump "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon”

In quick reversal, DOJ seeks to continue Trump's battle with law firms The switch came after the Justice Department told a federal appeals court it would drop its battle over executive orders involving law firms.

The one consistent aspect of this regime: there is no plan. No plan for foreign policy, for domestic policy, for legal strategy. There are only as hoc responses to the mood swings of a petulant old man, a doddering chaos agent lashing out moment by moment.

Utter insanity.

This is insane. Insiders profiting off of knowledge about the military is not just insider trading, it's also a threat to national security because our adversaries can certainly monitor these markets!

Looks like a man in a mugshot
