Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Good morning!

Ode to Imagination: Day 14 of National Poetry Month | Holly Jahangiri Perhaps conflict is a universal theme, not ony between humans but between the natural forces of the planet itself.

It's beautiful.

Thanks! My dad took that many years ago.

My family fled Fascism in the 30s. To see its resurgence is gut-wrenching & heartbreaking. I’ve been sharing this poem a lot, but it’s my history. Words are all I have. Forever grateful to @poetrywales.bsky.social for publishing: joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2023/11/here... #Trump #Orban #poetry

The road stretched endless,
full of expectation —
full of "it's the journey
not the destination.

Parched, I drove,
mad thirst unquenched
by water's salt-tang
on my tongue like tears
and longing for a life
that never was.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Stay near, but
let my hand slip
softly from your fingers
breathe the words —
the unsung lyrics
of goodbye.
I'd take you with —
the view from here,
breathtaking —
but it's a one-way ticket
and I only have the one.

LOL

So do something to stop him or we'll be right back here in 2 weeks.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I do believe you have that right.

Hope you're on the phone right NOW... Because posting here makes no difference.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

A temper tantrum throwing toddler can destroy all the crystal and china in a high-and shop in under an hour, if left unsupervised - or worse, encouraged by immature adults.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23.

20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t.

They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Right now. Before this goes farther.

I wish I had faith they'll be prosecuted.

i no longer know
if future-me exists -
can't see past today

grackles need spackle

I don't dislike it, I just like the other style better.

I like your hand-drawn art better than pixel art.

Everything old is new again.

I suggest you set the next trend and bring back ASCII art.
