Control & servitude
forever your submissions,
you only love the wild
as a symbol of something to tame.
So you chattel some like cattle
just to watch the butterflies
wriggling as they emerge
from tightly bound cocoons,
delicate and safe,
manageable, under thumb.

And now Trump is sending Troops to Israel to help maintain that peace. Unbelievable.

...And, as I understand it, unless the government shutdown gets resolved they'll be deployed without pay until the shutdown ends.

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

How can Trump designate US unpaid Troops for #Israel peacekeeping without the approval of Congress? It costs money and possible lives to send troops to a war zone to keep Hamas and Israel from restarting a war. Or is that Trumps plan to get involved with that war?

So I just wanna make sure I got this right… we couldn’t afford the $84bil in student debt relief but we can afford to just give Argentina over $20bil for no reason? I would say make it make sense but we are all mad on this side of the looking glass

one my favorite things to do this time of year is attach 12 foot yard skeletons to the giant roadside crosses you find down here in the south
