Mighty hunter!
A meme depicting President Trump standing in the White House next to a tabby cat seated on a gold-tasseled velvet cushion like a guest of honor; Trump is proudly displaying a dead rat with a shit-eating grin as if he caught it himself.

#ResistanceRoots I've been reading the poems of Carl Sandburg, who was described as "more than the voice of America ... he was America." "I Am the People, the Mob" particularly resonates in these times. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45036/...

Defenseless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. ~ W.H. Auden
