“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.

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

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.

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.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes. “It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

"According to the complaint filed Thursday in Doña Ana County District Court, those midnight raids weren’t emergencies at all. They were training drills staged by the jail’s Special Operations and Response Team, or SORT — a paramilitary-style unit accused of using people in custody as live props."
