Blue moone,
Thou sawest me stondinge
Al oon --
Wythout a dreame yn myne herte --
Wythout a love of myne owene.

Blue moone,
Thou knewest al Ich was ther for --
Thou heardest me sayinge a prayer for
Someone Ich trewelye koude care for.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

I think our country sinks beneath the yoke:
It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds.

All you fascists bound to lose.👊

Abolish and prosecute ICE. Abolish and prosecute this evil fucking regime.

“You won’t get killed if you just obey” is not something you say to people in a free country.
It’s what you say to hostages.

Taxation without representation, troops in our streets, unreasonable search & seizure, and comply or die. We literally fought a war against this, in 1776.

Today is a good day to demand universal healthcare. #UniversalHealthcareNow #SinglePayer

This is the way.

Goodnight, stay safe, do good, take care of each other, fuck ICE.

“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24

let's be clear, nobody thinks that Markwayne Mullin will be a better director of homeland security than Noem. We're just taking brief pleasure in a horrible person being briefly miserable because sometimes that's all there is.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

She's right, you know.

Trump doesn’t care that Noem led a team that was murdering people and building concentration camps.

He cares that she got spanked by Congress which he finds humiliating.

But, today, gravity exists and it is a reminder to keep pushing.

War in Middle East: Iranian warship sunk and more countries targeted in conflict YouTube video by Channel 4 News

For Americans: If you want fairly unbiased & factual reporting on the war in the Middle East [without the hysterics typical of US Cable News] I recommend Channel 4 UK News. They put their bulletins in their YouTube & give you a clearer perspective of what’s going on:

Themes of the novella in re resistance to oppression feel VERY relevant to the world today 🦊

Behold my new Echervia 'perle von Nurnberg' succulent plant given to me by a friend just now. It has roundish purple leaves and is in a cute cream colored pot with a cartoon lady in blue on it.

Things feel pretty scary and terrible in the world of late, but good things happen too, like my lovely music prof colleague Joanna bringing me a cute wee succulent friend. #plants #succulents #friends #SmallThings

any alternate realities encountered are likely worth the risk in light of current dystopian hellscape in which we exist. 🤷‍♀️

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.

Men: What a scary time for men this is.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

"The coalition is meant to bring together resources and expertise in order to protect evidence-based public health practices." ✅

This war isn’t an emergency that requires us to give the president more latitude. It’s a monstrosity that requires that judges, lawmakers and above all citizens work to preserve the integrity of elections and the republic.
