Clearly the Secretary of the Army doesn't realize who he was actually speaking to:

*Riders on the Storm voice* Soldier on the moon

For those who do not have access or care to go to Twitter for the video, here is the video of the U.S. Secretary of the Army stating that there is currently a soldier on the moon:

a knot of ribbon tying our breath to the air honeysuckle scent

the sun is climbing into the saddle and you run run and listen to the roar of the sea

1 When the loons cry, The night seems blacker, The water deeper. Across the shore: An eyelash-charcoal Fringe of pine trees. 2 The lake reflects Indefinite pewter, And intermittent thunder Lets us know The gods are arriving, One valley over. #poem Howard Moss #art Ningeokuluk Teevee #Resist

🌀 These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs With a soft inland murmur Do connect The landscape with the quiet of the sky And the round ocean and the living air 🌀 #poem excerpt: Wordsworth #art This Abundant Earth: William H. Hays #Resist

💨 daily I breathe it, cool as water bathe in it sharp as air this lake electric, this net of nothing overflowing spillway that calls to the silvery leap of the returning heart: this love this poetry 💨 #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Spillway: Will Chapman #micropoem #Resist

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

"Attention without feeling... is only a report." Mary Oliver on what attention really means and her moving elegy for her soul-mate www.themarginalian.org/2015/01/20/m...

✨️ What is green in me darkens, muscadine. If woman is a north star, I hold steady in the black sky There is no savor more sweet, more salt than to be glad to be what, woman and who, myself, I am, a shadow that grows longer as the sun moves, drawn out on a thread of wonder. #poem 🧵 1/2

Poetry and resistance. Refusal to be silenced. Refusal to comply with my fear. My imposed fear. Poetry just for the pure quiet love of the thing #Resist #PoetsOfBluesky

Waves happily from the Japanese short form poetry community! Yes, I do read and repost politics occasionally, but it's not why i am here.

The welling Tips of the wood touched, touched at the bound, And boughs were slight and burdened beyond telling Here were the blue buds, earlier than hope, Unnumbered, beneath the leaves, a breath apart, Wakening in root-dusk. #poem excerpt: Léonie Adams #art Kilian Schönberger #Resist

I am not pressed For time. I have all the foxglove day to give You my attention. I am yours Having to construct silence to speak I realize silence refuses to be broken By what I thought was worth saying. Now I construct A new silence I hope to break. #poem excerpt: W.S. Graham #art Ruth Harris

I am so distant from the hope of myself Around me the trees stir in their leaves The light flows from their branches. “It’s simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.” #poem excerpt: Mary Oliver #art Bob Craig
