“Meanwhile the wild geese,
high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
Mary Oliver — “I got saved by the beauty of the world.” | The On Being Project
A gift of an hour with the beloved late poet. The life behind the beautiful, precise words. How “Wild Geese” and “The Summer Day” came to be.

You can’t make this stuff up—a demand for $230 million (taxpayer dollars) by President Trump, to be approved by top DOJ officials, his former personal lawyers. Head spinning chutzpah. Eye watering conflicts of interest. More corrupt self enrichment.

Mike Johnson hasn’t sworn in Adelita Grijalva because he doesn’t want the House to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

He is working to protect Epstein’s billionaire buddies — and denying the people of AZ-07 their voice in Congress.

It’s time to find out who is destroying the White House wing for Trump. Who are they? Did they apply for proper permits? Can we picket their locations? Maybe we can’t get Trump, but we can surely give the complicit contractors a strong (peaceful) heads up. Add info here that may prove useful.
I'm sharing this because the order has been given to stop sharing photos of the "destruction" of the White House. Feel free to disobey.

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.
