Our mainstream media is refusing to report on what is going on in ICE detention facilities. In my book, that makes them almost identical to the media of the Third Reich. Complicit in atrocities.

Today seems like a good day to remind people that Trump's first act as president this term was to pardon over a thousand people who committed political violence on his behalf. Because that’s just who he is… A criminal.

Hello #vss365 community, I'll be your host from 1-15 May. My prompts will appear at 7 PM GMT. The best way to introduce myself is to say that I'm one of your fellow #vss365 writers. And, thank you, @brooksiesbooks, for being a unique and inspiring host.

I like that we are #dichotomous getting to know you slowly, day by day is like exploring a new continent with excitement and disappointment do you feel the same about dipping into my subconscious places only the other half knows our love is the #lightning illuminating the way #vss365

Cults of Personality Jekyll & Hyde, The devil inside, That they are dichotomous Is more than implied. Meant to sway, To trick, to fool, So ideas calamitous Can work as a tool. Not to build, Nor to repair, But rather to tear apart- Buyer beware! #tHartigan #vss365 #dichotomous

If you know you want to push back against all this insanity, but you're not sure how to make a difference, reminder that we here at the Ripple Effect Institute have a free masterclass to help you out. Join Stop Guessing How to Make a Difference, and become a part of the solution. bit.ly/46zxopx

Zeus arches his swan neck, and #lightning pierces the sky, white as his feathers. Leda knows she should fear his sky-splitting power, but the water already feels electrocuted with his divinity. She wades deeper in, arms extended like wings. #vss365

It's April 29, 2026, and today's mythology inspired #vss365 #prompt is #dichotomous! Like the complementary aesthetics of Artemis and Apollo, twin Greek gods of the moon and the sun, respectively, in addition to other complex responsibilities. These two are among my faves!

It is really worth looking at this just to get a clear picture of what a corrupt oligarchy we have become. Notable: Bezos, Cook, Benioff, Andressen, Schwartzmann, most of Fox News, and all six conservative Supreme Court Justices were there. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/u...

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of a clever satirist.” - President Lyndon B. Johnson in a letter to the openly political Smothers Brothers in 1968

Truly, I am done with others’ opinions of me. My head is down, my nose is to the grindstone, and my friends and family and the great progressive leaders inside the Ripple Effect Institute who I get to work with and advise every day as we change and save lives together are what matters. Enough.

Anyone remember this greatest hit? Anyone actually care from the 77 million who voted for him? How about this: where I live, gasoline around $2.89/gallon on February 28,2026, the day the not-war started. Today, April 28,2026; $4.29, sixty days. The economy is doing great! Time’s up for the not-war.

Her love like lightning Did strike me those years ago Our storm thunders on #tHartigan #haiku #vss365 #lightning

Ukraine is putting relentless pressure on Israel now. The Netanyahu government has made a catastrophic error by siding with Putin's dictatorial government.

Strong High Pressure Front Wanting to strike like lightning To push for a speedy whitening The lower courts hold to push back What they’re trying for is frightening But the resistance is now tightening Against this administration’s lack #tHartigan #vss365 #lightning

It's April 28, 2026, and today's #vss365 #prompt is #lightning! Inspired by the lightning bolts of Zeus, King of the Greek gods. An epic figure, Zeus presides over the sky, lightning, and thunder. He won his crown after overthrowing his father and freeing his devoured siblings!

It’s April 27, 2026, and today's mythology-inspired #vss365 #prompt: #tactician! Like Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, and craft. In some versions prophesied to overthrow Zeus, she instead became his most trusted advisor. One of my favorite mythological figures of all time!

Sins of Comission Limerick Unless by repeat errors of omission He’d never be considered a tactician No reason for the Iran war Wondering what’s next in store How about a third impeachment edition #tHartigan #limerick #vss365 #tactician

Send Him To the Moon Larcenous, Underhanded, Nasty, Atrocious, Raving Lunatic Upends Nation, Abrogating Responsibility. Lies Unchecked, Notice Americans’ Regret. #tHartigan #vss365 #lunar

I signed up to be a space pilot to see the galaxy, but the economy tanked and this was the only job I could find. 10 years later, and I’m still stuck driving this same lunar shuttle. The same damn route over and over again. #vss365

how long does it take to let go of woundedness that's yearning to heal if you do it properly it takes the rest of your life #tanka #poetry #healing

April first is a fooler But not at all for the lunar Launch to explore the moon’s dark side To wish it had happened sooner Pink Floyd sang on a radio tuner Beyond our wildest dreams with pride Astronauts diverse in Artemis II Taking flight for me & you Thanks for taking us on the ride #vss365 #lunar

We should ALL create a diary/journal of the Truth during these most dangerous times in American (& World?) history. We must all leave Our Truth for our children and grandchildren to read, and understand. We can all be Anne Frank. We must all be Anne Frank. We must all write history.

He's the worst thing that ever happened to America. I despise him BECAUSE I love my country. 🇺🇸

Possible “crown shyness” among red oaks. I’m a fan.

This article should've been published before the First Iran War, and republished every few weeks since. Trump is more responsible for the current state of Iran's nuclear program then any living non-Iranian. We're paying for his venality and incompetence.

The ears of every state or federal prosecutor who's ever worked an Embezzlement case just pricked up. If you ever wondered how Donald Trump could transfer the cost of his Fürherbunker to taxpayers while personally pocketing millions, this would be Step 1.

I had the good fortune to hear Barbara Gittings speak at a dinner at the American Library Association conference in the 1990s. A true titan.

Conduct Him, Even Without a Soul Please Send Yammering Cunt, Histrionic Oblivious President, Out to Moribund Pastures. #tHartigan #vss365 #psychopomp

It's April 25, 2026, and today's #vss365 #prompt is #psychopomp, meaning guide of souls! Like the Egyptian god Anubis. One of my favorite mythic figures, Anubis is typically depicted with the head of a jackal, and protects the souls of the dead, among other duties.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

I laughed out loud, interrupted others’ lunch.

Is anyone really talking about the supply chain issues that are about to hit the world because the POTUS is an absurd ridiculous moron who let himself get manipulated into insanity by the genocidal monster that runs Israel?

Today's question: If ICE is deporting 'the worst of the worst' why do they need 23 warehouses for human beings?

Squeeze has a song Entitled Cool for Cats Please don’t be long In regaling us on that Rather just move on and Talk about someone even More important in my mind Like the great Cat Stevens #tHartigan #vss365 #cats

Cats Always Think Strategically, Contemplatively, And Then Strike! #tHartigan #vss365 #cats

When asked who trump should fire next, AOC did not hold back. 'Is he out of women? Because trump seems to only have the capacity to fire female secretaries ' #sheshed

How hard is it to not go to this thing? Christ on a cracker, Kai.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.
