From chimes on the black cherry
A single note.

From roadside trees squirrels barkβ€”
A hawk’s cry.

Trump demands voting changes hours after major Democrat wins Donald Trump is calling for sweeping election reform, hours after Democrats notched a series of victories in statewide elections.

β€œWhat if we changed our deeply unpopular policies, cleaned out the bad actors from the party, and focused on serving everyone instead of the ultra-rich?”

β€œScrew that. More voter suppression!”

Doing some research on a story and came across this nugget in Wikipedia. New Netflix anime series?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

A flying red cardinal
Scatters droplets from the holly bush;

The sweetgum's leaves--green, orange, red--

Heads down on wet trunks, squirrels
Watch and twitch their tails.

β€œAmerica is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
