NO WAR. "Good Faith" by Hasan Alizadeh (translated by Kayvan Tahmasebian and Rebecca Ruth Gould). www.greenlindenpress.com/books/poetry... #iran

Donald Trump’s fascism couldn’t exist today if we weren’t a country where George W. Bush could just disappear into cozy, pleasant retirement, make a few public appearances a year, & enjoy 52% approval, as if eight years of lies, crimes, constitutional violations, & policy negligence never happened.

End the war. "Pattern" by Garous Abdolmalekian (translated by Ahmad Nadalizadeh & Idra Novey) www.greenlindenpress.com/books/poetry...

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

Happy to share my interview with the inimitable Monica Ong on her new book Planetaria. www.greenlindenpress.com/interviews-a...

An important listen. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Tonight!

There's a dark truth behind Trump's tariffs: Absolute control. Trump's tariffs will be a potent and unilateral mechanism for reintroducing systematic corruption into the economy—and total control over its most influential players.

“If a farm family voted for Trump, believing that his policies were good,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social, “it seems strange that they would then demand that they, and only they, should be spared the full consequences of those policies”:

True facts.

That’s about as fascist as it gets. Militarized public officers protecting business interests from the public.

BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology." This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

This is so sad and disgusting. I can't believe how terribly they treat Zelenskyy, and how ignorant and bullish Trump and Vance are.

“We’ll see you in court.” Gov. Janet Mills is a badass for this.

What amazes me is that Trump's first term was the shits for farmers, but all the red states went red again. 🤪 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

President Pete!!

Join us for a reading and mini writing workshop!

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

In other words: the richest man on Earth, who owns a space technology company, is slashing the US government’s space program — with no electoral mandate to do so

Don’t forget that Trump added more to the national debt than any president, almost 9 trillion. “Cutting waste” is a ruse. They’re not looking at the war budget, which is 60% of the total. USAID is less than 1%. Republicans get wet when they hear about small govt; they’ve been duped or are in on it.

Game on...

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Get your laughs when you can! This is from my kids’ book.

Another reason to support independent presses: keep the vibrant literary cultural alive. Co-opting and dictating artistic vision is a hallmark of non-democratic governments and institutions of power—all of them, all the way back in history. #NEA

Are they people or comic book villains?

Anyway—Gaza Soup Kitchen provides meals and clean water to hungry Palestinians. It may not seem like much given all that’s going on, but a hot meal means everything to someone who needs it.

"Checks and balances"—that was a good idea.

I agree with the author: it's not that AI is better at writing poetry than people; it's that most people don't read poetry and, therefore, lack discernment; so the vaunted survey that found people preferred AI-poetry to human-poetry is flawed. 1 / 2 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
