hundreds of humans on the Great Highway beach in San Francisco gather together to for a large rectangular sign where their bodies say: TRUMP MUST GO NOW, and then beneath this in white it says No Ice No Wars No Lies No Kings. 

All hail the power of freedom of speech and assembly

darkening gray clouds over a gray-green Pacific Ocean with the darkest gray-green defining the horizon. Rain is on its way after sunset tonight. Photographed why listening to Tin Hat Trio.

“Socrates said, ‘The misuse of language induces evil in
the soul.’ He wasn't talking about grammar. To misuse
language is to use it the way politicians and
advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility
for what the words mean. Language used as a means
to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies.
Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or
tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what
they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their
way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them
with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using
words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers
and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of
using words well. And their words make the souls of
their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”

~Ursula K. Le Guin

glad I looked up a few minutes ago. These never last long
A photo of a colorful Northern Michigan sunset across a lake. It's framed on the left and the right by dark cedar and birch trees. There's a dock with a pontoon in the shadows on the bottom right. On the horizon is the dark forests of the other side of the lake. The sky is full of scattered clouds painted in the blues, grays, pinks, and golds of the fading sunlight

@realDonald Trump - July 16, 2025, 9:43 AM

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE
and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the
Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it
came from Hunter Biden's bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia
Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked
Hillary Clinton's big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and
Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no
good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning
candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their
new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my
PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker.
They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after
being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. | have had more
success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country's history,
and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake
News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let
these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don't even
think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because
| don't want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this
matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

This is how you do it. Thank you Tupelo Press! And here's their donation page. www.tupelopress.org/donate/donate-n… I've just donated, now it's your turn. Let's all support orgs that get it right.
Tupelo Press - The NEA has released their updated literature grant guidelines. They are appalling. Tupelo Press will not be altering our 25-year mission to promote contemporary poetry and literary prose by emerging and established writers of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, including, especially, women and writers of color, as well as the LGBTQ+, immigrant, and Native American communities. We aim to develop wider audiences for, and deeper understanding of, innovative, multi-cultural writing by essential participants in this conversation. At the same time, we undertake to enhance the reading experience itself by publishing and distributing gorgeously designed and produced books. If adherence to our principles means that we will be ineligible for NEA grants going forward, so be it. Compliance with the new regulations would be immoral.

Black and white photo of Lake Michigan at sunset on a stormy day. There's a thin line of light on the horizon cutting across the middle of the photo. In the lower left corner there's a simple building on the beach lit up and shilouetted in the darkness. Photo taken from the 5th floor looking down on the beach

No birth control/abortion = population explosion. 
Defunding education = uneducated population. 
Bear in mind this doesn't apply to the rich who will still have access to family planning and education. 
Supply and demand applies to labor, not just goods. 
Factor in the enforced religious indoctrination historically applied to keeping the masses submissive "You'll be rewarded after you die". 
Look closely. 
They aren't interested in rebuilding the middle class. They want to recreate a serf class
