I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Thank you Magpie!
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love
None so devotional as that of ‘Mother’

I haven't mustered whatever it takes to write many poems in the last year, but that whatever is working its way back to me. This one was published today thanks to editor Jeffrey Heath of @januaryhouselit.bsky.social
Anything is better than the homophone 'Phil.' #shudder
One of those pheasants has made our place his non-MAGA refuge---eating seed fallen from the bird feeder, living in pondside rushes. He told me his name is Philip.
Tehran, a beautiful city in existence for at least 6K years. A CIA-led effort 75 yrs ago protected oil interests by overthrowing Iran's democratically elected leader who, backed by Iranian parliament, attempted to nationalize the country's oil for the benefit of Iran's citizens. Now this.
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

What is the meaning of kindness?
Speak and listen to others from now on
as if they had recently died.
At the core the seen and unseen worlds are one.

She's beautiful. I can see where you got it, Darby.

“Scattered through the ordinary world there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth.”

This drawing by a 7-year-old Iranian girl won first prize in an International "Peaceful Towns" art competition a few years ago. May she, and every person in Iran, be safe from our evil.
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
