A poem, by Richard Brautigan, for World Book Day. I like how this poem is a duck/rabbit, its meaning different if you imagine it was written by a man (Brautigan) or spoken by a woman (Valerie).

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder
