SONNET

Everyone makes love to their bereft & go
I’d like to know you right this second
But you wouldn’t dare come here for the fear
I have of eating this open sandwich I’ve got
I forget and you’ve got to I forget & not copy
Tomorrow the two identical different Dutch paintings
Will not look the fruits the way they look today
Thinking of you as if at the beginning of something I do,
I will not lie down

You act as if you were married
Thee who comes by whenever you please
I’m not either
You called early, alot to say, I forget
The plot, it was we are alike now it’s late
You’re asleep I’m awake

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Of course it’s important to respond and let them know it’s not normal and it’s shameful. The more ‘ normies ‘ calling them nazis and asking them how many roofers, gardeners & hs kids are cartel members while they’re geared up like they’re in fallujah the better!

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

What if I told you there was a super easy way for billionaires to give some of their money to fund government agencies and services on a regular, yearly basis?

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

I’m parsing a quote & forgetting who said it(pls forgive me)’ Most americans don’t hate crime so much as they love punishment‘ We know how 2 lower crime thru funding basic services 4 ppl. But where’s the gleeful righteousness
In that.

can’t fathom the contortions corporations would rather do then just paying their fairshare in taxes&paying employees a living wage+benefits!! instead they’d rather be beholden to a fickle moron tyrant?! I can’t believe it‘s still financially wiser—never mind yr soul &dignity!?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 4d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Even in a poor city like buffalo ny we had a local non-profit salvage demolition company that ppl used when they had to take down older buildings. To see all that smashed and needlessly wasted is gross and shameful besides the general affrontery of t-rump‘s actions.
