I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll sit at the table
When company comes.


They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed,-

I, too, am America.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
Timothy Snyder
Nonfiction

I wrote Snyder back in the day, and he wrote back.

A bit virtue-signally to post this, but 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

Uncanny—given the Nazification of our regime—reading about this humble man, formerly pacifist, joining the resistance. He became involved with a plan to assassinate Adolph Hitler.
His faith was profound. On his way to the gallows he said, “This is the end—for me, the beginning of life.”

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

This hits hard…

“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.
