The public has until the end of the day on Monday to weigh in on how much pollution a Metro East coal plant should be allowed to put into the air.

I have a dark sense of humor, but I have been crying a lot more than I have been laughing about the fascists.

A Pastoral BY AGHA SHAHID ALI on the wall the dense ivy of executions —ZBIGNIEW HERBERT We shall meet again, in Srinagar, by the gates of the Villa of Peace, our hands blossoming into fists till the soldiers return the keys and disappear. Again we’ll enter our last world, the first that vanished in our absence from the broken city. We’ll tear our shirts for tourniquets and bind the open thorns, warm the ivy into roses. Quick, by the pomegranate— the bird will say—Humankind can bear everything. No need to stop the ear

@sarairlbeck.bsky.social When will the next singing protest in StL happen? I want to be there!

Time itself now held long breaths with keen suspense.

THE LIGHT

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.

Woe Are You? BY DON MEE CHOI It was hardly war, the hardliest of wars. Hardly, hardly. It occurred to me that this particular war was hardly war because of kids, more kids, those poor kids. The kids were hungry until we GIs fed them. We dusted them with DDT. Hardly done. Reha- bilitation of Korea, that is. It needs chemical fertilizer from the States, power to build things like a country. In the end it was the hardliest of wars made up of bubble gum, which GIs had to show those kids how to chew. In no circumstance whatever can man be comfortable without art. They don’t want everlasting charity, and we are not giving it to them. We are just lending them a hand until they can stand on their own

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

I think it is absolutely scandalous that in just one year of an HHS under the leadership RFK.Jr the US has lost its Measles elimination status and is now on track to do same for perinatally acquired Hepatitis B. These are huge public health wins that took years to accomplish.

Damn
