A poem by Mary Oliver, first published in her 1986 collection Dream Work Wild Geese By Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

i’d like to hope that the world goes on

Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.

No wonder Elon is obsessed.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

"...individual states have the authority to limit corporate political activity and dark money spending, because states determine what powers corporations have...the power to define their form, limits, and privilege has belonged only to the states..."

An article in The Century Magazine, 1903, entitled "A Million Immigrants a Year, 1. Efforts to Restrict Undesirable Immigration". This portion of the article is by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, R-MA, famous for opposing the League of Nations and wanting more American imperialism. A second portion, by Frank P. Sargent, is blatantly eugenic in its outlook.

Maybe you live in an immoral country if its priority is killing people abroad instead of keeping people at home alive.

Trump appears to favor the concept of an endless financial resource, seemingly without any prospect of insolvency.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Trump's trying to dictate how elections are run...is UNCONSTITUTIONAL...and completely unnecessary

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

The correct answer is ALWAYS "Fuck ICE"

Aonther thing wrong with the Patent system. If the justification is to protect IP for creators, including being able to sell the patent to someone who has the resources to manifest it, why not have it go public domain if not used in 3-5 years?

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

Chump's Regime Lies To Our Faces, While Video Evidence
Proves The TRUTH,And Their Lies.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
