ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

You might accuse the author of this piece of going off on a tangent (although I would argue he comes back around like a boomerang) but you can't accuse him of not being timely. #kashpatel, #fbi, @whauden.bsky.social, @wbyeats.bsky.social, #wbyeats, #poetry www.indycorrespondent.org/indycorrespo...

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

A few nights ago, I talked with Pedro Rios, the director of the American Friends Service Committee's US/Mexico Border Program. We talked about Border Patrol activity on the border, & ICE activity in the interior of San Diego County. www.indycorrespondent.org/borderdiary/... #borders, #migration

I didn't write this poem about Claudia Sheinbaum, but now that she's standing up against the #orangemenance, I feel like it applies to her. #poelitics www.indycorrespondent.org/poetry/o-jew...

Some panoramic images of #ChicanoPark and some verses inspired by them. #poelitics. #sandiego, #barriologan

Panoramas of #chicanopark in #barriologan, #sandiego, and rough draft of a poem inspired by a slogan on one of the murals there reading "AMOR, SI SE PUEDE" #poelitics, @robburgess.bsky.social,

I suppose there won't be any more exhibitions like this at Herron School of Art and Design in #indianapolis, under the reign of the #orangemenace www.indycorrespondent.org/articles/rev...

Is this podcast timely enough? What do you think? This dude certainly has some scary Manson lamps. #maga, #kashpatel, #poelitics, #robertlowell, #wbyeats www.indycorrespondent.org/indycorrespo...

Recent events along the border, and in the White House, inspired me to rework some diary entries from October 2023. #migration, #poelitics, @selenagomezfanpage.bsky.social, #ice, #maga, #deportation, #migrants, #tucson, #arizona www.indycorrespondent.org/borderdiary/...

Attended AI conference in #SanDiego last night. Realized I already wrote about the #orangemenace's immigration crackdown. Not sure if this is a poem or prose, or whether it matters at all. What do you think, @joriegraham.bsky.social? www.indycorrespondent.org/poetry/opera... #poelitics

Charlene Li talking about diverse workforces tha the Orange Menace will soon crush at Dent AI #sandiego conference. Trying to figure out what Im doing here. Hope to have answer soon.

I applaud @davidchappelle.bsky.social 4 asking on @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social 4 Trump to do better, altho there's snowball's chance in hell that he'll take that advice. Here's something I wrote that comments on 1 of his monologues. #poelitics, #poetry www.indycorrespondent.org/poetry/space...
