Canadian poetry peeps:
I am looking for a poem. The first line is something like "The triangular fingernails of March penetrate the skin..." Last line, "Where you can die from going outside."
Canadian poet, lived up north, died relatively young.
Google and ChatGPT are no help.

I somehow got on the “Don’t vote because Dems have never done anything for anyone” algorithm and I want off.
That’s just too much stupid for anyone to have to read.

"Leaders of electoral authoritarian regimes use unfair elections to deceive their citizens, create the illusion of popular support, & legitimize their rule...nefarious tactics include repressing the opposition &... manipulating the law, media, electoral administration, & campaign resources."
How to Compete in Unfair Elections | Journal of Democracy
Opposition movements often boycott rigged polls rather than risk legitimizing an autocrat. It is usually a mistake. Here is the playbook for how one opposition seized the advantage.

No one yet has figured out exactly how Musk pulled it off in 2024. Even states that went completely Blue, still had Trump win the presidency. Trump has even said that Musk rigged the election to make him President.

If war with Iran does materialize, I think folks need to understand that this will look vastly different than the 12 day war.
Iran understands this will be a fight for survival. I would expect them to activate all of their proxies and launch everything they’ve got - if they can.

Why is the Sovereign Citizen stuff so popular? Like... None of these insane arguments have ever "worked". No one has avoided punishment for breaking the laws by employing SovCit tactics... So why does this movement apparently have so many die hards that believe in it?

Trump is suing the DOJ for investigating him, while locking people up in detention centers who are here legally and haven't done anything wrong. He doesn't just think he is above the law, he thinks he is the law.

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them
ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

Speaking of my new editing gig: I am actively looking for prose writers right now for short fic pieces. I'm prioritizing marginalized creators. The vibe is "cozy" that goes along with a monthly theme. I'm filling up our roster for this year and then hopefully beyond. It's a small mag and pays!
