Poem:
Root Cellar by Theodore Roethke, pub: 1948
Nothing would sleep in that cellar, dank as a ditch,
Bulbs broke out of boxes hunting for chinks in the dark,
Shoots dangled and drooped,
Lolling obscenely from mildewed crates,
Hung down long yellow evil necks, like tropical snakes.
And what a congress of stinks!
Roots ripe as old bait,
Pulpy stems, rank, silo-rich,
Leaf-mold, manure, lime, piled against slippery planks.
Nothing would give up life:
Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath.

Last night, #Ukraine launched UAV attacks on three #Russia’s air force bases: Engels (Saratov region), Morozovsk (Rostov region) and Yeysk (Krasnodar region). More than 60 explosions reported in Morozovsk alone.

Jay in Kyiv:
The 6 Russian bombers destroyed this morning in Rostov Region is just the beginning.
Ukrainian Armed Forces now has the capability of drone strikes to 3000km.
Russian oil infrastructure, airfields, Putin's palaces all on the menu.

Overnight, the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted a drone attack on Morozovsk Air Base, reportedly resulting in the destruction of at least 6 Russian fighter aircraft.
As recently as April 4th, Russian MoD news showed Su-34 fighter-bombers equipped with UMPK-fitted 500kg bombs at Morozovsk, for the first time.
It is possible that poor Russian standards of OPSEC have allowed Ukraine to attack Morozovsk and degrade this new capability.
The Dems are up against the dirtiest rats in the country. Thread:

1/ Probably not necessary, but as y'all are going to be seeing a lot of these claims this week - that Ashley Biden's diary was left in a hotel room not stolen, and that said has a passage about Joe Biden molesting her - it's probably worth taking a quick look at what's what.
