Morning fog;
In the deep fallen leaves
Squirrels forage.

Falling and falling through sunlight--
Golden leaves.

A hunting hawk flies low
Over grazing sheep.

So to sum up, the current #GOP position is “We’re going to starve the poor unless you let us take away their health care benefits.”

Got it.

Overcast fall morning;
Mockingbirds and crows fight over
The topmost bare branches.

Fall morning, clear and calm;
From roadside trees squirrels bark—
A hawk’s cry.

Shadows move on the drive—
Above, a canopy of bright yellow leaves;
November at noon.

“What if we changed our deeply unpopular policies, cleaned out the bad actors from the party, and focused on serving everyone instead of the ultra-rich?”

“Screw that. More voter suppression!”

Doing some research on a story and came across this nugget in Wikipedia. New Netflix anime series?
Text reads: No one lived on Rongerik because it had an inadequate water and food supply and also die to traditional beliefs that the island was haunted by the Demon Girls of Urae.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The sweetgum's leaves--green, orange, red--
Glisten with dew.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

Hot take: In “A Nightmare Before Christmas” the character of Sally has no purpose or agency. The romance angle at the end is shoehorned in. You can remove her from the movie and nothing in the story would change.
