Unite for our lives











What every US citizen can do right NOW:
It’s 2026 – #US midterms in November! 
Get an ever growing mass of the concerned to 
write/email/phone/scream outside their offices,
contact their reps with the #impeachment 
demand, or, we #primary you with someone 
who will, while finding those candidates 
and promoting them
Let’s do #democracy against these fascist 
upstarts and their enablers.




I see this pervasive myth of Democrat 
incompetence and inability to connect 
with common people -- clearly NOT true 
if we even look at the greater number of 
Dems (of course some are incompetent 
-- we're people) -- obviously disinformation 
widely spread and unquestioned 
because isn't the Right right?





These so pride-self-lied "Christians" clearly 
worship the punishing, arrogant Father 
against the teachings of His Human Son -- 
reminds me of Archangel Michael in 
"Supernatural": insisting on being the "Good son" 
though his father clearly prefers the rebels 
who offer better stories




the bullies, trolls, snark practitioners -- all know, 
feel, can't escape their lack of true qualities, and 
therefore need to get that little charge from any 
harm they can give those they know are better 
humans -- so horribly sad

if only they would let themselves and others 
be each who we are, and enjoy the ride





if we need to fight wars, as humans defending 
our lives, we ought to be fighting 
wars against oil -- to end our deadly, dangerous 
affair with fossil fuels and become sane users 
of renewables





The root cause
divisive hate
Bad for us on every level
Don't eat the poison leaves
Find sustenance in more vibrant fields



selecting and sharing information





Want democracy?
Get the word out to tell our
Congressional reps
in every way we come up with,
that we will primary them with
people we identify who will
do as we require
Demand the impeachment of
our criminal POTUS, as quickly
as possible.



Being meaningful to those who 
are meaningful to us



I Cee Evil


Punch me in my stomach,
in my head.  Poke out my eyes.
Leave me bleeding in the street,
while you mischaracterize
my intentions
as if you had any credibility
but what unbridled violence demands

Something better to do now


Transcended in a song, not mine.
I feel and yearn to be that essence.
Yet I am artist of my own experiences,
they of theirs.
Imagine all of our stories, arrayed,
arranged, intermingled
within this magnificent symphony
What we are, are stories,
often complex, layered, changing,
from first breath of humankind,
each an integral part of
our grand adventure




so, where are the public defenders 
giving resistance
where are the lawsuits, the street theater, 
the loud voices
don't let any of this become normal



clearly none of this illegal assault, kidnapping 
and subsequent torture is about law enforcement -- 
it's all about the performative cruelty, the quotas for 
bonuses and out of proportion paychecks, the great 
war against America by our current Commander in Chief



If we truly were serious about
a better human world, we would
seriously study how bullies are made
and unmade, or effectively made
harmless


We must understand
those dire oppressors we all despise,
the way things are, destiny, fate
are merely human illusions, human doing


Among all the idiocies of war,
the energy, manpower, resources
thrown away, or destroyed, could
have been used, with but some cogent
thought, to solve the issues that led to
conflict


Our fundamental us, society,
has systematically created an
environment that encourages
massively stupid and dangerous
behaviors in a mad race to succeed
against the competition.


We are so desperate for connection,
we convince ourselves that amoral,
unfeeling machines can be real
friends, confidantes, trusted companions,
because that self deception, and its
ridiculously dangerous expression,
is preferable to the work of actually
connecting with fellow human beings


Having learned through sad experience
to separate my birthday festivities
from those for the world's New Year,
I celebrate my birth eve,  Also,
as nocturnal, the eve falls gracefully
into my birthday before I sleep


Heinous outrages escalate day by day
How do we successfully resist?
How develop massive overwhelming
to end these evil acts that ought never
have begun?
Not rhetorical, important real questions.
We need immediate victory, that people's
real lives be saved, for we who still have
that chance


All beauty
anticipates
awaits
exchanges 
twinkles in
serene in
awakened by
abides in
...  recognition


I am, naturally,
all I need to be 
    Trust the process
    Sway along
    Revel in the dance
    Ever more, extend your song


People, the whole human project,
needs, for any bearable chance of
continuing, reawaken to what our
lack of attentiveness has allowed
to proliferate.  We must oppose this
insane progress toward annihilation
through so many deadly twistings of
potential destiny.
We know, you know, I know,
when we admit it, we could have
devised such a truly beautiful
existence for all, everyone.
We can now.


Stirrings of an uncomfortable need
to act, I had not yet the consciousness
to take on


Maybe if we stopped wasting our time
fighting, we would find something better
to do.
