Another of my infrequent resistance haiku: So, a parade, huh? And infantile name calling grow the fuck up, Don.

...and, just because I like writing them, today's resistance haiku. Ignore donald trump Stephen Miller is the face Of true villainy

I've been missing for a while, though I've been vocal on other platforms. I've also been vocal at a couple local resistance rallies held by Worcester Indivisible. They invited me to provide some music, and so I sang two of my best protest tunes, "The Socialist Agenda" and "Punch a Nazi".

Today's resistance Haiku: Existential dread Held me until I could sing my truth At Hold Off Worcester

Today's resistance haiku: I cannot sit still This war for democracy Calls me to fight I am a soldier In "good trouble", I resist And sing my own truth

Now is the time for EVERY senate democrat to stand up and engage in a filibuster calling out the transgressions of the shitball trump administration. Didn't have to be as long as Senator Booker's 25+ hour record, but anything as long as can stand. C'mon senators, give us some fucking hope.

One of my polymatherators. A fractal that I call, "The Sculptcha"

Please don't spread this picture of trump around the internet. He's so fragile, he might shit his pants in rage, and he seems to shit his pants often enough on his own. Or so I've heard.

Resistance haiku for today: This is not normal I know I must add my voice To the resistance The death threats will come It's likely I will be doxed Through fear I must reach

Resistance haiku for today Speak and speak and speak Sycophants cheer his malice Putin smiles and laughs

Resistance haiku for today Trump has no concience Neither do morals matter He attacks allies Russian talking points Trump parrots in fealty To monster Putin The coup has happened We must not embrace despair Rise up, resist, fight

Some Resistance Haiku catch-up: Jasmine Crocket, queen Inspires me with courage Fact-crushing MAGAs Nothing justifies LGBTQ+ hate I am you ally

Today's resistance haiku: Forty seven gifts Political violence To his MAGA base

... And since I missed it yesterday (recovering from a brutal cold, haven't been fully rebooted for several days), the haiku for Saturday: Turtle-headed Mitch Chose power over country You could have stopped this

Today's haiku: Foreign policy Should not be administered By a fucking drunk

In order to work thru my existential dread, I'm going to write a haiku each day. So: I have been called a Radical left lunatic Of that I am proud.

So, this is fairly terrifying... bbc.com/news/article...

My partner Pam had a laparotomy on her right foot a month ago. She hasn't been able to do much more than sit in the recliner and roll around the house in my desk chair. Good thing there's been a ton of figure skating to binge!

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Donald Trump has Mark Zuckerberg by the balls 🔗 www.404media.co/a-tiktok-ban...

I find it hilarious the JD Vance is virtually GONE from the incoming trump administration. He's seemingly been replaced by musk. We all know that loyalty in the trump world only goes one way...

3/ ... the way we fight that, is for all of us - who understand the existential threat posed by the incoming trump administration - to become our own cadre of citizen journalists and satirists, holding those in power to the truth.

2/ Threatening the lives of journalists and satirists just because YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT YOU, is the standard tactic of reactionary, authoritarian, and theocratic governments. We are living the inception of those threats to journalists in our own country right now.

1/ Ann Telnaes reminds us that today is the 10th anniversary of the "Charlie Hebodo" murders, wherein an armed group of men invaded the offices of the French satire magazine "Charlie Hebodo" and murdered 12 of them, because they'd had the temerity to publish a cartoon image of the prophet Muhammed

Happy Insurrection Day. Don't let the MAGAs forget their crime.

3/Not only do we have to hold trump and the MAGA republicans to account, we really need to remind the legacy media of their obligation to truth, and holding those in power to that truth.

2/This kind of capitulation-before-the-fact is a direct threat to our free press, and thus a threat to our democracy.

1/Ann Telnaes, a cartoonist who draws images commenting on political/social issues with The Washington Post, quitting the paper after the cartoon shown below was killed by her editor. It depicts media and tech billionaires, including WaPo owner Jeff Bezos sucking up to trump.

So, in order to not feel so desperate at the opening of this seemingly doomscrollercoaster year, I just covered the Beach Boys "Shut Down", bluegrass style on the mandolin. Gud Tymez, yo!

In order to prepare for 2025, I decided to reenact the captian's death scene from the movie "Alien".

Hello, my name is Eyore. Have a happy new year, if you must, if that's a thing you find appealing. Fight the good fight, since there's nothing left to do besides. Speak truth to power, because what else can one do? No other choice...*sigh*
