So...

Russia demands Danegeld
Lands Russia hasn’t already conquered
Rich fertile farmland...

Danegeld only stimulates desire for more...

From Putin to Genghis Khan there runs a direct line
invaders coming from the north northeast

Hello from Odesa, Ukraine, friends. An intense 24hours here, ranging from sleepless night of bombardments to a wondrous meeting of poetry with kids at our Poetry Studio (poemsnotbombs.org) here in Odesa.

The warning signs are red and blaring.

More and more failures that put lives in danger are piling up.

Kristi Noem needs to RESIGN. And Republicans need to get serious about real Congressional oversight.

Great sequence of overheads, Ilya, I overheard that Trump appears to be more of a Neville Chamberlain. When it comes to foreign policy he would be happy to sell us out and have Putin make him a king. Maybe he already has.

Seeing how overblown egos are in power
Enacting a coup in plain sight
With a flurry of orders proscribing individuals
Stripping badges and access

Do not appease fight back

Make them take heed
When people are outraged
And push comes to shove
Truth must not be shoved aside

Questions of a Waxing Moon

News comes of Ukraine’s forces
boldly attacking across frozen ground
by the light of a new moon
When the moon is full
will they have overthrown armies
taken supply routes
jeopardized Putin’s power?
When the moon is full
how far will they have gone?
how far can they go?
