Sometimes you need to make a not so good poem to get the idea of the poem out so you can make other possibly better poems. #writingcommunity #poetry

Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

Here's an example of fraud in a previous election for Speaker Johnson: Arizona Republicans caught in the act of signing fake elector forms in 2020. It would be a shame if many people saved this receipt--and reposted (the crap out of) it.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Shoutout to Only Poems for the kindest personalized poetry rejection I’ve ever received. They clearly go all in on considering their authors and you should send work there because you know it’s getting a fair shake. While it smarts to get that close it also smarts less because of kindness. #poetry

If they make it to where there are less jobs, people will have a harder time quitting jobs that abuse stuff like labor laws. Factor in health insurance going up and how workplace insurance is tied to employment and you begin to see the indentured servitude the techno-fascists need. They need workers

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.
