Mine heart has seen the gory
of the coming of the hoard
They have dismantled all our values
in the name of their new lord
Who’s the anti-Christ incarnate
The Devil with his sword
The truth has left the room

Gory gory is their pogram
“Let the poor die they are few!”

My heart is broken for the world and Catholic faithfuls. I greatly admired this bridge builder. Humble, bright, and authentically holy. May his spirit infuse ancient thinking to evoke and establish the equality Pope Francis so sought. We have lost a great human.

To celebrate International Women’s Day I made my first potato leak soup! Digging all aspects of my feminine energy!

To my women friend and men, too, we all came from WOMAN. Here’s my moving poem that raises the prospect of never needing a day dedicated to women, because daily life will respect our equality. Many of these faces are of important women who populate/populated my life.

I value public media. My local station is WHYY tv & radio. I am a contributing columnist for online #NextAvenue founded by TPT - Twin Cities PBS. Today, I’m joining supporters nationwide to protect local public media, like American Public Media, for #ProtectMyPublicMedia Day. Won’t you join me?

In Nigeria, "maga" is a slang term that refers to someone who is gullible or easily deceived, often in the context of scams or trickery. It is commonly used in conversations about fraud, particularly in relation to internet scams. Yes, share.

Round one goes to Team America.

We remain in the ring until far right extremism has been completely and totally knocked out.

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I share, and ask you to share, my personal narrative essay originally published by PBS’ Next Avenue. More than ever, it is critical to remember.

White amaryllis know as the White Amadeus symbolizes purity. And can’t we all use a little more of that these days?

Behold The Brutalist. In time it will be regarded like Citizen because of the cinematic territory it carves. It deserves a big screen viewing. Architecture is but one sweeping metaphor in a story that embraces the overall brutality and majesty of the human condition.

This is a concrete way to demonstrate your support of speaking truth to power (brutality). I would encourage Rev Budde to have a team of supporters then assemble these cards into a HUGE artwork to be displayed, much like the AIDs quilt.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021.

What happened to backing the Blue?

Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder.

Don’t ever lecture America again.

About anything.
