Today I used @5calls.org to urge my Senators to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel, oppose Israel's occupation of Gaza, support the rebuilding of Gaza for the Palestinian people, not luxury resorts for Trump's cronies, and support a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. 5calls.org

Today I called my Congressional representatives to urge them to end Trump's cruel and illegal blockade of Cuba, which has devastated the island's electrical grid, leading to widespread suffering. I recommend using @5calls.org, an efficient way to keep up the pressure on your reps. 5calls.org

He made the right decision in dropping out, but by referencing unspecified "false allegations" this asshole demonstrates he can't even do the right thing without simultaneously smearing the women he victimized. NOW LET'S DO TRUMP.

I just called my reps with @5calls.org and urged them to demand the DOJ release the rest of the files mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, call for the resignation of Acting AG Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, and impeach and convict Trump. You should too: 5calls.org

Today I called my House Rep and Senators to urge them to investigate and impeach Pete Hegseth for his open encouragement of war crimes, purging military leadership that won't follow illegal orders, and pushing Christian nationalist ideology on the military with @5calls.org, 5calls.org

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Apophenic epiphany

My new favorite thing is YouTubers reacting to seeing Angine de Poitrine for the first time

We can argue about what these protests accomplish until the heat death of the universe but to me it boils down to a belief that there is inherent value in making the right realize that everyone hates them and that their whole movement is made up of cranks who won’t leave their houses.

Trump is hallucinating conversations with the presidents on his money.

"Dreaming to a Click", the music-themed poetry book Chris Stroffolino and I wrote, just got reviewed in Unlikely Stories at www.unlikelystories.org/content/make... Thanks to reviewer dan raphael and Unlikely Stories editor-in-chief Jonathan Penton. #poetry #music

You can indeed declare "We're winning this war" and get some people to believe it and repeat it despite the evidence but you cannot in fact *actually win a war* simply by declaring "We're winning this war."

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

This shows two things clearly: 1) human life, American or otherwise, means nothing to trump--he doesn't care about you; and 2) absolutely no planning or forethought went into his decision to start this war (yes, it's a war.) 1) is also true of the republicans out there cheerleading the bombing.

Chris Stroffolino and I have a new collaborative poetry book out titled “Dreaming to a Click”. You can read early versions of “Gnossienne” and “Anacrusis”, two of my poems from the book, for free in the Spring 2024 issue of BlazeVOX at static1.squarespace.com/static/66627... #poetry #music

Rethinking what I said yesterday. Maybe AOC for Veep and Sparky for Prez? :-D

Brain Dead Rejects at Savage Henry's, 10/16/2025 #music

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it: AOC is my political hero and if she runs for President I will do everything I can to help her win. She has a comprehensive understanding of the problems we face and the right take on how to solve them.

My poem “Questions 70 & Up” was collaged together, Abbey Road side 2 style, from multiple shorter poems written as my part of a dialogue with Chris Stroffolino. The final edit is included in our new book “Dreaming to a Click”, along with 27 other pieces revolving around our relationship with music.

The fact that there isn't a Morrissey fan site called "The Mozoleum" seems like a big missed opportunity.

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

Jordan Peterson’s mental health is just fine. Who doesn’t fly into a curse-laden rage at seeing children’s puppets?

Normally I disapprove of this kind of thing, but it’s pretty hard to feel sorry for the marks here. Maybe myob?

www.unlikelystories.org/content/nine... Found poems in lost languages: nine photographs from my Asemic Realizations series just went live at Unlikely Stories Six. Thank you to editors Jonathan Penton and Leona Strassberg Steiner.

So, never, then. Because we hear about you committing new horrors every fucking day.
