Women and men (both dong and ding) summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came sun moon stars rain

One of my favorite poets is e.e. cummings. His “anyone lived in a pretty how town” always struck me, both for the quiet emergence of love within it and the broader indifference to it. We may see beauty in individual lives, but “children are apt to forget to remember.” (Thread)

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

BREAKING: Massive Jeffrey Epstein BOMBSHELL drops as the pedophile’s personal accountant reveals that Epstein’s estate paid off one of Donald Trump’s accusers.

This isn’t a smoking gun, it’s a smoking cannon....

The fact that Pam Bondi, the law breaking monster protecting child rapists in the Epstein files, feels safer on a military base than she does in her own home tells you everything you need to know about who the military actually protects and serves.

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

While 150+ were killed in a US-backed school bombing overseas, ICE continued its war on due process at home.

I don’t know who called off the Target boycott, but my wife and I haven’t been there since last January, and we have no plans to go back.

What did I miss? Because I haven’t seen an apology or any real course correction. Target spit in our faces, so we made a conscious lifestyle change.

Let me see if I understand this right: while talking to reporters at JBA (3/11/26), Trump said he knows the whereabouts of Iranian sleeper cells and they were let in by Biden.

So instead of ICE/CBP going after the sleeper cells, he allowed ICE to terrorize communities instead?

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

You read that right - MILLIONS spent on lobster and luxury items while we cut SNAP benefits for hungry families.

These people are disgraceful. 🤬🤬🤬

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

‘This cannot be sustainable’: The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months, the CBO says "We need policymakers to come together, agree to reduce deficits ... and put our national debt on a downward sustainable path as a share of the economy."

The U.S. Treasury’s borrowing showed no signs of slowing with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reporting that another $1 trillion was added to the federal deficit in the first five months of the year.

Of course, with more borrowing comes higher interest costs on the debt.

Why is it Trump is not suing anyone calling him a pedophile?

Might he be adverse to DISCOVERY???

Trump is a pedophile.

The @wnba.com has seen historic growth in recent years. NONE of that would have been possible without the skills and talent of WNBPA players.

It’s time for Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to agree to a fair contract. Solidarity with the players!
