Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law wapo.st/4c9ertE
Biden’s lame duck status permits him to kick butt! This is his Gettysburg Address, seeking to restore a balance of power and redefining the presidential election.

The Supreme Court just ruled that Donald Trump can remain on Colorado's ballot even though he incited the January 6 insurrection. It's unacceptable. Sign the petition to demand that Congress take action to stop corruption on the Supreme Court NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/it…

Not a future returning us to the way things were — idyllic for the privileged few — but a community-based future where cooperation replaces competition, love replaces hatred, openness replaces subterfuge and cunning, harmony replaces discord, and diversity replaces division.

In these poems, I slice and dice America's home-grown oligarchs and their political pawns, grieve over rampant environmental carnage, and reflect on war, its enablers, and its tragic outcomes — yet, despite all the gloom and doom, I close on a note of high hope for the future.

Rather than simply detailing Trump's misdeeds, evil intentions, and failings, I employ wit and satire to drive home salient points, and choose traditional forms — sonnet, villanelle, terza rima, ballade supreme, Keatsian ode, pantoum — to add weight to various themes.

The 40 poems in this slim volume deal with the chaos we face if an unhinged narcissist is permitted to rule America at a time when the survival of our species, and all life on the planet, demands immediate, decisive, and rational action. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.
