And Trumpelstiltkin is so mad about this poll, he claims he's going to sue the @newyorktimeshaiku.bsky.social for publishing it.

An offense against the Emperor.

On a non-political note, I'm convinced Emily Dickinson was heavily influenced by Cavalier poets, which may seem surprising. But those abstract, capitalized nouns re-appear in her work, albeit in a much more powerful & original form. And the 4-beat/3-beat meter.

Right now, it seems a good moment to recall the famous last stanza of Sir Richard Lovelace's poem, "To Althea: From Prison."

Lovelace may have been a royalist, but his poem speaks to the a spirit of defiance in all those who oppose tyranny and injustice, whether crowned or empty-headed.

But, is it a "madman approach"β€”a phrase which suggests intentionality and tactical gesturesβ€”or just plain and simple madness?

Late night at the Eagle. Bondage, sweet bondage. Oh San PantaleaΓ΅, my pantless saint! Martyrdom has never seemed so calm, so sweet. Even Modesty's rumpled napkin is decorous, symmetrical, replete.

Mad King Donald's letter to the Prime Minister of Norway. It should be EXHIBIT #1 in removal of a mentally incompetent President under the 25th Amendment.

As #Trump threatens today to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy U.S. troops in #Minnesota (after having provoked civil unrest by surging 3,000 #ICE agents to that state), it would be a good idea to educate ourselves about this dangerously vague legislation.

#Trump's claim to be the "Acting President of Venezuela"β€”and his plan to steal its oil & sequester oil revenue in a private bank accountβ€”grossly violates the foreign #emoluments clause of our #constitution.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.

It was never about the drugs.

A Yale graduate and abolitionist, Torrey went to Baltimore to help enslaved people escape. He was stalked by the police, captured, convicted, and died in prison in 1846.

Minneapolis pastor: ICE 'pointed a gun at me' and 'put me in the back of an SUV'
YouTube video by MS NOW Minneapolis pastor: ICE 'pointed a gun at me' and 'put me in the back of an SUV'

ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️
