“The poems, they / Come as they will. I have a human south of me who loves me, / And I have other ways of being. I will burst into flames. I will get up.” — @oregonsheds.bsky.social, “Failures of the Poets” @canariumbooks.bsky.social heavyfeatherreview.org/2023/01/10/a...

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

“Aides said [Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Chief of Staff John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.” —Miles Taylor, who worked for the first Trump Administration.

Malignant narcissist just living his best life…

This is really important. You don’t have to achieve instant universal adoration. You just have to have a few people — people other people listen to sometimes, ideally — you have to have a few people who talk about your work, like, all the time

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

uh

this is just gutter racism

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

"The governor is a big fat slob." [1 minute later] "I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke. Some speechwriter wrote some joke about his weight, but I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob."

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law. You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

Trump admin tells states to “undo” food stamp benefits: “To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.“

prepositionmag.com On Failures of the Poets: "Robinson acknowledges across Failures of the Poets both the ambition and limitations of poetry, wresting small pleasures from the grand collapses—economic, ecological, existential—of human history." PP: anthonyrobinson1958 VEN: Anthony-Robinson-231

The Speaker of the House thinks a naked bike ride is terrorism. This is a sentence I never thought I’d write when I got a degree in professional writing for journalism.

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

🤣🤣🤣🤣😏

Ted Cruz: “How about we all come together and say let's stop attacking p*dophiles." 🤔

.@POTUS begins: "You can do anything you want. And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course there goes your rank, there goes your future." Source: PBS News

Trump incited an insurrection on Jan 6 and should be in prison for life. 🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

MELVIN: The president repeatedly did say though that he would end the war on day 1, and we are some 250 days into the administration MARCO RUBIO: Yeah, but that's not up to us to end the war MELVIN: Repeatedly on the campaign trail he said he would end it on day 1

He's literally standing in the UN trashing the UN, AND LYING!

1. False 2. None of the wars he claims to have ended were the one he promised to end in 24 hours

Threatening the media like a dictator

When you write a piece noting that a guy promoted racism and violence, his followers immediately prove you right

📍The religious right spin will be whiplashing. “It’s all the radical left and their photoshoppy voodoo magical stuff and that new fangled AI.” And now calls for public executions have been replaced with prayers for Christian salvation.

Another good idea: fifteen minutes of “pure nonsense” a day. This and the quotes posted yesterday are all from The Posthuman Dada Guide by Andrei Codrescu (@princetonupress.bsky.social, 2008).

Fuck this obsequious motherfucker.

The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.

That’s … not a denial

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

yeah i'm going to be reposting this forever, aren't i www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

We’re going to need more sandwiches!!

Yes.

Trump is laying the groundwork for a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, pretending that she's a reliable informant on Epstein and not his literal partner-in-crime, so it's probably worth recirculating the facts: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Dumbshit.

didn't post this incredible joke (that only sort of works) yesterday as despite it being innoffensive it felt 'too soon'. But now it feels slightly too late and I missed whatever the sweet spot was.

Pretty encouraging that the guy who is about to direct the largest law enforcement organization in America by far with the new expansion doesn’t know anything about the 4th Amendment. bsky.app/profile/atru...

. Well well well I guess her big mouth is good for something… .

The president is a felon, a r*pist, and a pedophile. I feel like that should be a non-partisan point of disgust.
