Who knows whether the best of men be known, or whether there be not more remarkable persons forgot, than any that stand remembered in the known account of time?

what is to be done?
the resistance has to smarten up
no more 'they go low we go high'
no more 'both sides suck' either
no more defeatism

The resistance has a coordination problem. We need at minimum another No Kings protest, and *soon*. And we need active connection, since platforms like X and FB are polluted and distorted by the billionaire Trumplings who own them.

"... imagery of the resurrection, which is the life of the grave, ...sweetens our habitations in the land of moles and pismires..." Browne, Urn Burial
A hillside graveyard scene where traditional headstones are surrounded by a field of thousands of tiny, glowing blue lights. In the foreground, a prominent tombstone features a glowing door-like opening with steps leading up to it. The ground is cracked and dry, and butterflies fly beneath a bright, moonlit sky. --gemini Three dark, arched portals stand vertically along a winding path, surrounded by vibrant, bioluminescent blue wildflowers. The interiors of the arches glow with a soft, golden light that illuminates delicate plant silhouettes within. Bare trees stand in the twilight background, perhaps with birds resting in the branches. A surreal, nocturnal landscape featuring a hillside covered in small, dome-shaped earthen mounds. Each mound has an arched opening emitting a warm, golden glow, contrasting with the cool blue tones of the snowy or moonlit ground. Bare, silhouetted trees stand against a dark, cloudy sky. --gemini A close-up view of textured, hive-like mounds with large arched entrances and small, glowing perforations. The scene is washed in deep blue light, while warm light spills from inside the structures. Large, glossy black beetles crawl across the foreground terrain, and a lone bare tree stands in the distance. --gemini

A wide view of a highway at night under an eerie orange sky. Large metal signs display nonsense text ("TAS TO TO") while long-exposure light trails streak past on the left. --gemini A lone figure stands on a dirt path, gazing up at a massive, swirling pink galaxy that fills the night sky. A wooden ranch-style gate stands silhouetted to the right. --gemini A surreal blend of two realities: a grainy, black-and-white man stands on the left, looking out toward a vivid, full-color mountain peak under a dramatic pink sunset on the right. --gemini A low-angle shot from the asphalt of a cracked road. A man in a suit stands with his back to the viewer, facing a strange, portrait-bearing sign amidst thick pink fog and leaning utility poles. --gemini

A figure draped in mock-regal furs and a crown stands amidst pink fog, their face a void of black with glowing red eyes, wielding a staff like a weapon. --gemini A soldier crouches in the dark mud, offering a beaming, uncanny smile as he presents a large, fleshy, tuber-like object he has pulled from the earth. --gemini A despondent man in a business suit slumps in exhaustion on a toilet, trapped within the claustrophobic brick walls of a cell-like bathroom. --gemini A mound of earth and refuse in a twilight forest manifests a crude, sentient grimace, staring back at the viewer with hollow eyes. --gemini

trash and filth and rats
#midjourney
A nighttime scene in a polluted, rundown urban slum alley. Crumbling buildings flank both sides, with fires burning in the distance casting a yellow-orange glow. Multiple rats are scattered throughout the street and ground level. Thick smoke and haze fill the air, creating a dystopian atmosphere. --haiku A dark, moody scene in a contaminated industrial zone. Multiple rats and what appear to be badgers or similar scavengers surround a large piece of carrion with visible decomposition. Ruined structures, fires, and heavy pollution characterize the bleak landscape, with industrial buildings visible in the hazy background. --haiku An elevated view of a slum settlement near the bay with multiple structures actively burning with bright yellow flames. Rats and other scavengers are scattered across the ground, some near a dead animal carcass. A polluted yellow sky dominates, with an industrial city visible in the distance amid smoke and fire. --haiku A daytime view of a degraded industrial area with a yellow-tinted polluted sky. Dilapidated buildings and trash bins line the scene. Several rats are visible scavenging near what appears to be carrion on the ground. An industrial cityscape with fires and smoke looms in the background, and birds fly overhead. --haiku

This composition features large, monolithic red and yellow block structures framing a trash-filled horizon. The sky is a mix of dark gloom and a soft, multi-colored haze. On the wet ground, which is spotted with red and yellow puddles, a white rat and a black rat inspect a red substance amidst the debris. --gemini This image depicts a dystopian landscape under a heavy, grey sky. The foreground is a wasteland of colorful, scattered trash and debris where several large, pale rats are scavenging. In the background, a city skyline is represented by abstract, blocky yellow and orange structures, with a lone, spindly tree visible on the right. --gemini This scene shows a misty, garbage-lined street illuminated by glowing streetlamps and vertical streaks of rainbow-colored light (red, green, and yellow) descending from the sky. Several rats, appearing both dark and light, navigate the trash and a glowing yellow liquid pooling in the center of the road. --gemini Under a dramatic sky that gradients from black to deep red and bright yellow, a central path cuts through mounds of refuse. The background features colorful, geometric blocks acting as buildings. In the foreground, white and black rats are gathered around a patch of red matter on the ground near puddles of yellow or orange liquid. --gemini
