I'm looking to find an editor for a raft of poems I've written since February 2020. #poetry #editor #poems #english #literature

New St. Paul mayor, wrong answers only.

Stopped to honour the end of this mega-flora's century-plus existence on Summit Avenue this morning and I was able to capture a metaphor for the GOP's attention to our democracy. (?) #forestry

Question for the #Phenomenologists and #Hydrologists out here: has it been very windy and dry in the upper Midwest this year? 'spose I should include #Meteorologists in my query too!

Our curiosity will trump their certainty every time. Change is afoot. Wonderment over abandonment.

First, @jessethorn.bsky.social mentions Strangers In Good Company on @jordanjessego.bsky.social and us geezers flipped out. But then @maximumfilmpodcast.bsky.social reviews Phantom of the Paradise and my young film experience is dredged up again. What next? Harold & Maude or Jeremy‽

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

I'm more convinced than ever that #USMNT should have sat Balogun and said "No!" to the corruption. The team would have rallied in a much different way. As a commenter on NYTAthletic said, "Now they've gone and squandered the corruption."

Since it’s our 250th anniversary and I’ll probably never ask this again: What’s your #1 favorite thing about the United States?

I use @podcastaddict.bsky.social to listen to the Fascism Barometer. Listen, learn, and take action to create a reduction of fascism in America. [The Fascism Barometer] Building Governing Power with Sendolo Diaminah 🅴 podcastaddict.com/the-fascism-...

Priority today: do not surrender our flags and our beliefs to fascists. 2 July 1776 2nd Continental Congress approves a Declaration of Independence. As British NA subjects they felt compelled to explain their reasons to the world.

The fascists surrender the government to the fascists. This is perfect for a wholesale change in our "People's House. We vote they lose. Our curiosity and alignment on principles trumps their certainty and anger every time. www.cnn.com/2026/06/30/p...

Speaker Johnson abandons floor agenda, sends members home early amid GOP rebellion | CNN Politics

Speaker Mike Johnson has once again lost a battle against hardline conservatives for control of his own House floor — and he has no clear way out.

Adjudicated by the Supreme Court of the United States, a convicted sex abuser liable for defaming his victim, E. Jean Carroll. Now we need accountability for his behaviour in 2020 plotting an insurrection and his years of raping children with Jeffery Epstein's facilitation.

The discrepancy between Barrack Obama's first election and what happening now a mere twenty years later should be graphed to highlight how much less the capitalist elite are paying to oppress and brainwash our society.

Doovie@jasonduvall.bsky.social · last mo.

The great thing about us seeing how much the elites can pour into elections is that we are also learning how much more taxes they can afford. Obviously they’re not missing these dollars.

Will this be true if they have share the majority with DSA or Working Family Members of Congress who won't support Jeffries? What if they demand a different Speaker as condition for their support?

If the Democrats are so dangerous, we should choose Socialists or Working Family candidates instead of the GOP option. At least those folks will collaborate with the dangerous Dems to re-create trust in our federal system.

"The ice will not negotiate." -Great short🧵

Ms. Misanthrope 🇺🇸@lilmsmisanthrope.bsky.social · 2mo ago

So when the Doomsday glacier sheds its ice shelf this decade, do not call it a shock. It was forecast, denied, and chosen. The same interests that knew are pulling the US from every climate treaty we have. The ice will not negotiate. It only keeps the receipts.
