It's wild to think that being a ghoul who wants to pick and choose who gets healthcare is a win to them, but being someone who wants to take care of people is an L.

Update: I offered this simple amendment in the Appropriations Committee to say no President can withhold funds from a college to try to control their speech.

Failed 14-15. Every Republican voted to endorse Trump’s censorship.

We are very far over the cliff here folks

Funding ICE like a military to create his own secret police force controlled by no one but the executive branch.

Trump attempted to carve out an exemption for himself and the VP from the ban on elected officials trading stocks, but it failed only because Hawley voted with the Dems against it.

Tennessee is WILD.

From @thebwstimes.bsky.social — “Texas Republicans have redrawn the lines so that @jasmineforus.bsky.social Crockett, one of the most outspoken Black women in Congress, is no longer living in her own district… this is not just political, it’s personal.”

In my practice, this is a good indicator that, if I believe in the thesis of the poem, it's my duty to begin blowing it up to find the truth and the energy again. Deleting things, experimenting with line breaks, doing speed writing sessions to cultivate new masses of lines/ideas/syntax to re work it

The propaganda is too strong.

in their minds, this is America—and America wouldn't intentionally hurt its citizens. America is the greatest nation on the planet! They can't even begin to conceive that "official" groups like OPEC/the 5 UN Security Council vetos/NAFTA, etc., are the cabal that they're looking for.

that there are "dark forces pulling the strings" that make their lives hell. But, most Americans have been so ideologically blinded that they cannot even rationalize looking at their country's economic system as being that dark force. So they invent "shadowy cabals" that have no evidence because...

That's capitalism in a nutshell. Americans have never had the chance to even consider another economic model. In our education of the country, we don't even mention capitalism. It's just assumed that "democracies must be capitalist." And so conspiracy theorists have an underlying understanding...

The point is not to look with conspiratorial lens. It isn't a conspiracy because it's literally systemic—it's literally capitalism. It is designed to be this way.

His tunnels are abject failures. Slow, useless in Vegas. Never finished in LA. It isn’t real. Why does no one know anything about this man’s grifting?

Man everything y’all tell us about Tennessee makes it seem like it’s run by actual idiots.

Let us beautify your community while we slowly kill you.

Because they were defending Clinton and likely dozens more horrible men across both political parties. Apparently it's a bipartisan job to protect their most-prized pedophiles.

Extremely interested in Columbia's enrollment statistics this fall.

This is such choice language.

Crushing.

"I never wrote a picture in my life" is maybe the greatest line uttered by Trump after "What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?'"

This just in from Rogan, Trump is now part of "They."

Maurene Comey, federal prosecutor in Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, fired: Sources According to sources, President Donald Trump privately vented about having a Comey work in his administration.

Huh.

Love this jersey. Hate the price tag lol.

Supreme Court: Sounds good to us

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

An Age of Pain is an Age of Love TRANSMISSION 13: A meditation on the ingredients for tranquility

To overcome some truly crippling anxiety, I have had to spend some time reminding myself that love exists despite pain, and that pain exists despite love. Tranquility comes once you can let the existence of both fall to the background. Read my meditation on these two married forces here:

Wild that anything that the "oil and gas industries" advocates for is petty much the worst thing that could happen to a given ecology—all for the sole purpose of more money.
