Mysteries, Yes By Mary Oliver Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say "Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.

Mysteries, Yes ~ Mary Oliver

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT

Last Communion. - Joan Kwon Glass Here I am, kneeling again before a man who tells me I can be holy while insisting that nothing is permanent, not even my precious sins. I am washed in the blood, longing for something sacred, tongue hanging over my bottom lip like a dog. I like to read between the lines of obituaries, try to guess what their family members left out on purpose. You can tell a lot by what isn't there. For example, vague obit of healthy teenager: death by overdose, 50-year-old mom who was a brave warrior: breast cancer, 30-year-old male, donations to NAMI in lieu of flowers: suicide. My sister was an asshole, and now she's dead. Though her life ended at 37, I wrote her eulogy as though she died at age nine, because that was the last time she wasn't an asshole, and I wanted to say something true without pissing everyone off. Here's the thing-if all we have to do to erase our gravest mistakes is take communion or stop breathing one day, what is keeping us from making them all, from relishing each one, knowing in the end, they will not define us? When I die, please tell everyone the truth about me. That I walked around this place believing I was a little better than most. That twice I turned away from true love out of pride, revered books more than men. That I did, in fact, have a favorite child. While you're at it, reveal this truth about us all-that each of us has secrets we take to the grave, things we want to admit, but are certain no one wants to hear. Tell them that the very last time I ever took communion, I closed my lips around the priest's finger, let him feel my hot tongue against his skin. And he let me.

Joan Kwon Glass absolutely stunning me with her bold writing.🫢

Montana Supreme Court Rules Its Constitution Entirely Protects Trans Citizens In Landmark Ruling The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.

The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

I did a spot check on CNN and saw Scott Jennings on. Wondered how long it would take him to lie. Answer: 30 seconds, at which time he said Trump‘s war with Iran was a chance “to take away their nuclear weapons.”
Fact check: They don’t have nuclear weapons.
Also a fact: CNN pays Jennings to lie.

More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.

For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

nothing says “vote for us” like a dipshit politician saying “yeah we know you’re broke because of our war of choice but suck it up, pansies”

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Megyn Kelly: “After 14 years inside Fox News, I’m exposing what viewers refuse to see—how the network morphed from news into a propaganda machine designed purely to cheerlead wars, worship Trump, and feed you manufactured rage instead of facts.”

Trump might be doing the nation a favor by knocking down half the White House because we’re gonna have to bulldoze it all into the earth after he’s finished shitting gold all over it.

America Needs to Impeach Trump For its Own Moral Health Even an unsuccessful effort will show that many Americans reject threats of genocide to win a war

“What Trump’s statement revealed was not just a negotiating tactic but something more disturbing: a president who recognizes no legal, constitutional, or moral limits on his conduct. He is unfit for office and should be removed immediately.”

This was The Beatles’ final public performance — their legendary rooftop concert on January 30, 1969.The show wasn’t publicly announced, so it took everyone by complete surprise. Crowds quickly gathered on the streets and nearby rooftops as the Fab Four rocked Savile Row

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level.

Are we paying attention?

Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That's what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

Republicans start wars we can’t pay for while giving tax cuts to billionaires we can’t pay for then blame Democrats for the deficit…

Every. Single. Time. 😎✨

This is absolutely fantastic.

The decision to overfund a military to “defend” a people who are far more likely die of preventable causes because we refuse to ensure that they have healthcare is maddening

When the Democrats take Congress, they should introduce an omnibus bill to repeal everything this administration has done. They should call it the Total Reversal of Unnecessary Measures and Policies Act, a.k.a., the TRUMP Act, and watch to see whether the president can veto something with his name on it.
