DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
Musk is really cozying up to China, all so he can get even richer. So much greed destroying so many people.

"Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit."
"It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts."
Problem solved

One of the reasons I didn't stay long in China was censorship and lack of free speech. I'm disgusted that we're dealing with it here now, too. There has to be a way of regaining our democracy, and it can't wait until 2026. (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/b...

Today's poem is by Starhawk.
Also, I don't know why youtube makes some of these videos and others "shorts." I think it has to do with the formatting, not the length.
Did the MV Classic/20 Miler today and am worn out but had time to read a poem anyway.

Oh, yeah, and the local meeting and the run were not the same event.

My teen daughter told me about this the other day and I was skeptical. I will be happy to deliver proof to her that propaganda from China needs fact-checking, just like any other propaganda!

I just found out that I am in a little liberal echo chamber. I wondered: Is everyone outraged about what's going on, or am I only hearing from people who are outraged?
There isn't nearly enough outrage:
