What Drives The Election Roller Coaster?

Democrats can win if they stick with the issues that have enraged women and POC, otherwise they risk becoming mush that does not get people out to wait in line to vote or fill out absentee ballots and mail them in or drop them off!

Filosofa's Word

The upcoming elections remind me watching a game of tennis, or ping pong … back, forth, left, right, back, forth. Round and round she goes, where she lands no one knows. To say that it is stressful is an understatement! Frank Bruni’s latest column sums it all up fairly nicely …


Live By the Trump, Die By the Trump

By Frank Bruni

8 September 2022

Democrats were doomed. We prediction-mad pundits felt predictable certainty about that. The recent history of midterm elections augured disaster for the party in power. Inflation would make the damage that much worse.

So why are Republicans sweating?

Their overreach on abortion and the subsequent mobilization of women voters explain a great deal but not everything. There’s another prominent plotline. Its protagonist is Donald Trump. And its possible moral is a sweet and overdue pileup of clichés — about reaping what you sow, paying the piper…

Robot

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Nguyễn Thái Bình
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

ROBOT

I have two eyes but they don’t know how to cry
I have two hands but they don’t know how to hold
I have two legs but they don’t know how to stand
I have a head without a brain-Empty
I’m a robot of the twentieth century
I could discern the squeakiness in all parts of my body
I don’t know how to start because the software have not been installed
The screws couldn’t be refreshed.
The character E was the first bit of information I was fed
It was he, she, see or me
My first word was not mummy
It was a path only I could see.
I knew from that point then I was real
A professional vagrant
Begging for my past
I’m run always on the first OS version

There’s power but now there’s no water

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Nguyễn Thái Bình

Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm


There’s power but now there’s no water
.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER AT HIGH NOON THE POWER WAS CUT
The tiny town bubbling away on a stove
The power cut!
Appliances dripping water like the yellow pee of a gecko..

Happiness is reachable beyond the next century
Possibly or probably not at all?
Dreams folded in a cloudless sky, to Buddha
Prayers and offerings, waiting forever for the first rain

There’s still a small round plastic container of water
Just enough to wet your feet
Splash
Laugh and scream
Dream as much as you want son
Imagination of childhood is the only invaluable asset
Void of battering
So what if
The power is cut
The water is cut
And the prayers fall in profound silence.

Parashat Ki Tetzei, and Humanity vs. Law

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Parashat Ki Tetzei (l'milchama...) /When you go out to war... (war against whom, or against what?  Against inhumanity, perhaps?)

    This week we read about the requirement, from which the RAMBAM draws his famous order, not to return a fugitive slave.  Ironic, for a country claiming to be founded in principles based on the Bible, to pass a law ordering the contrary, no?  This parashah, as well as the inhumane law which it prohibits, figures prominently in Black Historyfugitive-slave_kidnap_post_1851_boston  which, of course,  is also American history.

  The_Fugitive_Slave_Law....Hamlet_in_Chains

We can Do Better.

Last week was Parashat Shoftim, and the Rule of Law

Action Item:

 Share your thoughts on how language learning can widen perspectives, and increase humanity.
