    Happy !This poem I wrote for is one of the most urgent poems I've ever written. It is a hope that implores us at an uncompromising core to keep rising up for an Earth more than worth fighting for.

    Every time I watch The Devil Wears Prada (which is every time its on) I want to redo the scene when her friends take her phone and have her take her gifts back when she leaves. It irritates me every time. 😠

    I can't say I know much about her political ideologies - I only just learned about her. That 30 minute interview is just about all I've known her for and I think she's a gem. Oratory skills, poetry, Ambition (2036?),..wow. I'm 💯 impressed.

    We will stay on this path toward an utterly corrupt and unaccountable leadership so long as demands for impeachment are limited to tweets and press releases, and we stay entertained by our leaders dunking on authoritarians in a hearing. My latest.

    It’s only becoming more and more obvious that Attorney General Barr has been acting alternately as Trump’s criminal defense lawyer and publicist – spinning details to his *client’s* best advantage. Now, we know Mueller has a problem with that!

    This is a scathing letter and makes clear Robert Mueller believes Barr deliberately distorted the special counsel’s findings - and communicated that to the AG more than once.

    Here is the complete exchange, via CSPAN, between Kamala Harris and Bill Barr — including the part where Barr couldn't say whether Trump or anyone in the White House has ever suggested that he open an investigation into anyone. It's worth a watch.
