100 years ago! Almost prophetic.

"He was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar, his ideas idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture. Certainly, there was nothing exhilarating in the actual words of his speeches, nor anything convincing in his philosophy." Sinclair Lewis (1926)

IT'S COMING ...
FASCISM IS IN CONTROL ...

tRUMPSTEIN WILL GIVE HIMSELF 95% OF OUR VOTES ... 🤬🤬🤬

SO WHAT'S THE PLAN???

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

You can see the setting sun between two houses. The sun is lighting up the clouds and two jet contrails.

This is kind of a mess with the overexposed sun, the power lines, the contrails, and clouds between the houses. But it seems to hang together somehow!

Timeless ...

Trump suggests federal control of elections in ‘some areas’ In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are “honest.”

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

This is so good thanks for posting.

Reading through Sourav Roy and Tuhin Bhowal’s fine anthology of contemporary Hindi poetry, PERENNIAL, I was stopped cold by Seth Michelson’s razor-sharp translation of Rati Saxena’s devastating “Refugee”—a poem for our time, for all times.

“…like kites holding tight / to the ruins…”

I made a joke about this a while back!

Architecture of domination.

Well given his Particular style it will be architecture of dumb-ination.

Just ordered my copy, looking forward to reading.

It is ironic, but looking at the whole ICE situation with European eyes, it seems to me that ICE has shown by its actions in Minneapolis that it poses a greater threat to public safety than the supposedly violent criminal illegal immigrants it is aiming to track down.
