Editorial | On Insecurity Minister Ben-Gvir’s watch, any critic of Israel’s government will be ‘dealt with’
People used to warn that if Israeli democracy continued to degenerate, life here would become “like in benighted regimes.” There’s no longer any reason to say “if” and “like.” Israel has become a state in which it’s dangerous to be a citizen who opposes the government.

Finally Friday!
Have a poem. As always, the title is a link to learn more.
Blues Franchise David Henderson
Line from a letter, “Blues Franchise.” I believe it is a motif language rather than thought—intimately
Blues as art as theme as exhibition
Up on a midtown metropolis edifice
Billboard façade 50 feet tall thirty feet wide: BLUE SMOKE
Of a black femme-like face framed by her fingers tapered upward in the V of her palms
Looking off, her eyes below her painted on eyebrows
And Caucasoid wig solid black
touching off of a violet plunging deeper into the decorated pigment
A frame furls hints of blue in a spectral geometry
Framing tightly the face, reposed
A white strap over one deep ochre shoulder as background
Could be trans-shim or a delightful Caledonia,
red skein of a lipstick kiss imprinted invisibly in a nano dimension
Replications across the marquees of legions of subway cars
Her face on the mini billboard above the seat next to
The moving doors
Always looking somewhere else as the
Masses travel to all destinations
Blues smoke surrounding whatever stage as forum
For the franchise
Forever after for as far as the past goes.
Entering the negative space of a corporate behemoth
A lobby of the skyscraper museum or loft like enclosures
interlocking directorates of high art residencies.
Consumer beware of what you purchase with your eyes,
The presence of your body
*
Out of the blue
You
Out of the blue
And into the blues
You
Out of the blue
You
Out of the blue
Vanish into the blue
you
