Don't perjure yourself. You're under oath. Isn't it true that you are a fast food restaurant chain founded in San Diego in the 1950s, that features chicken tenders, and tacos. "Senator, I think you have mistaken me for Jack in the Box.'

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

He's saying renovations are needed because the facility is unsafe. But the money for renovations isn't available unless his name goes on the building. Ergo, if his name doesn't go on the building and, as a result, it's not renovated, then it must be demolished for public-safety reasons.

Today’s poem is called ‘Love is a Skin’.
Love is a Skin

love is a skin
that protects you,
a warmth that spreads 
from the tips of your fingers
to your heart

sorry – not love –

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This ad caught my attention but not in a good way. Translation: "Serve you family pre-made frozen food so that you can bum around in your pajamas and play on your phone more." How tragically representative of contemporary culture is this?!

Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

We mustn't stop talking about what *should* happen merely because it's a longshot. Keep up the pressure, because giving up is exactly what trump and his corrupt cult want you to do."
