Remembering Eartha Kitt on her birthday ... I was lucky enough to spend a full day with her until the late, late night once. She was brilliant, beautiful, warm, thoroughly kind and delightful. A day I'll never forget.

It's Emily Dickinson's birthday today, December 10, 1830. This magnificent 2-volume edition from Belknap-Harvard is all of her poems in her own penmanship, including scraps of her corrections, gathered and photographed. Wherever I go, these go with me.

Israel is home to some of the sickest people on Earth but the US has Israel beat. “If it was up to me, I wouldn’t just send them on the way, make sure that there are concentration camps that will also burn them.” — Least Genocidal Israeli

Trump says “Christians” as he starves 42 million Americans for the fkn rich. To these no real job having exploiters #religion is just another tool for #imperialism and #capitalism. There is no such thing as Jesus Christ in the GOP. That’s clear. In fact I’d postulate it’s the opposite.

f the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. wil mmediately stop all aid and assistance to Vigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

This happened 6 months before the October 7 Hamas attack. “With children sleeping inside, lsraeli colonial settlers torch a Palestinian-owned house in Sinjil village, north of Ramallah.”

This happened over a year before the October 7 Hamas attack. “April 2022 – Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces assault a Palestinian father in front of his child inside Al-Aqsa Mosque. A painful glimpse into the daily brutality Palestinians endure, even in one of the holiest sites on earth.”

This might be unkind to say, but lit magazines demand "nothing by AI," when the poetry they choose all too often reads like AI hallucinating. Poetry should communicate, not bewilder.

Or you could actually be the party of Democrats & embrace the ideas, ideals, & social policies that FDR supported. Ask yourself this; why is Bernie the ONLY Democrat in the last 75+ years to run on "FDR's 2nd"? Look, Dems MUST go left. Chase the votes of indy progressives & Socialists. Win 🏁 🗳️

I'm old enough to remember when the lOF crushed 23-year old U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie to death with a bulldozer, then celebrated with pancakes that had her face on them. Not a single U.S. legislator acknowledged Israel's murder of Rachel Corrie, or agreed to meet her parents.

It's stunts like this that have made Americans mistrust the Democrats, even in the face of Republican extremists destroying what little social safety net this country was ever allowed to develop under the horrific influence of American individualism ideology.

The most obvious linguistic contortion is the abuse of the term "antisemitism" to provide protection for Zionism and Israel. Zionism is definitely not Judaism. Zionism is real antisemitism in the pursuit of imperialism and right wing nationalism. Zionists are Nazis.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?
