"Lend me the stone strength of the past
and I will lend you
The wings of the future, for I have them."
-- Robinson Jeffers, "To the Rock That Will be a Cornerstone" [1924]

“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number-
Shake your chains to earth like
dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many—they are few.”

Felon Trump is freaking out over the fact that the #NoKings crowd sizes make his puny rallies look like his tiny “mushroom.” So he made an AI video of himself as a flying turd, which just makes us laugh at him even more for his desperation.

"Because men
are killing the forests
the fairy tales are running away.
The spindle doesn't know
whom to prick..."
― Günter Grass, "Rat"

The most insulting thing about Mousey Mike Johnson? Whenever he says “bless her heart.”

The subject of loss affects us all in 2025.

I’m reading Stacy Schiff’s book about Samuel Adams prepping for Ken Burns doc re: our Revolution.

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
― Samuel Adams

"The pressure of an all-powerful totalitarian state creates an emotional tension in its citizens that determines their acts. When people are divided into "loyalists" and "criminals" a premium is placed on every type of conformist, coward, and hireling."
― Czesław Miłosz, The Captive Mind

"The public is lied to every day by the President, by his spokespeople, by his officers.”
― Daniel Ellsberg

"Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

"Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than to polish."
-- Anne Bradstreet [1622-1672] "Thirty-three Meditations"

“A puritan culture’s conception of art is something which will endorse its morality and flatter its patriotism. Nothing else.”
― Lawrence Durrell, The Alexandria Quartet

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
― Frédéric Bastiat

The destructiveness of this stupid administration is a bottomless hell of ignorance.

"Tis the times' plague, when madmen lead the blind.”
― William Shakespeare, King Lear

"There's a strong message of divine righteousness in dictatorships. Every megalomaniac has to believe his actions are sanctioned by God.”
― Eric Gamalinda, The Descartes Highlands

“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.”
― Émile Zola

"Where are now the glorious hours
Of a nation's gather'd powers?
Like the setting of a star,
In the fathomless afar;
Time's eternal wing
Hath around those ruins cast
The dark presense of the past.”
― Letitia E. Landon [1802-1838]

"The secret of being a top-notch con man is being able to know what the mark wants, and how to make him think he's getting it.”
― Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

"Few Germans in 1933 imagined Treblinka or Auschwitz, the mass shootings of Babi Yar or death marches… last months of WW2.
It’s hard to blame them for not foreseeing the unthinkable. Yet their innocence failed them…”
― Benjamin Carter Hett, The Death of Democracy

Is FLABBY TRUMP afraid of all the names of the JOHNS in the SEXTRAFICKING FILES who were members at MAR-A-LARDO?
Enquiring minds ask on behalf of the Epstein victims, on behalf of the American people, and curious how #HANDSOMEGAVIN2028 will meme the fuck out of it all?

I absolutely love this painting.
It breathes with calmness.

Yes, it is Ukrainian art.

Do the GOP conservatives on the Court hate their grandchildren? Why else would they block scientific discovery if not for paranoia about what could be discovered?
Such stagnant thinking.

The test of time is as important as dreams for the future. What lasts resonates.

“Exile’s around, my love
A journey in a circle’s ring,
Your weary feet heels down, my love,
the jet is close to landing….”

Years ago, w/a collaborator who died in Greece, we wrote a song in NY about exiles.

Resonates in my memory for today’s world of exiles.

“Life is short, and we have but a brief time in which to explore, to learn, to experience, and to create. Let us make the most of that time, and let us burn brightly, like meteors across the night sky, leaving behind us a trail of light and inspiration for those who come after us.
~Jack London
