I was looking back at some poems I wrote during the first Trump presidency and noticed that nothing has changed.

I just realized today - Trump thinks the added labels ARE tattoos. Other people realizing it too - www.theverge.com/politics/658... - I really can't believe how fucking dumb this mf is
Donald Trump might actually believe these Calibri labels are real MS-13 tattoos
Who needs AI when you have MSPaint text boxes?

Pre-ordered a new celebrity-authored poetry collection. One of my favorite genres.
Also, not to sound like an old man, but why don't the kids understand that people will still get what you mean when it's subtext? You don't need to make it overt text.

Absolutely stunning how the current Democratic Party leadership believes the most effective political strategy is rolling on their backs and pleading: "Yes, please, fuck me harder daddy."

Reminds me of that moment in Silo where the greenery appears on all the screens and Tim Robbins is screaming at everyone not to look.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Today's my birthday so I'm unapologetically publishing a poem myself; we must seize the means of publication.
