#Vespertine sadness
I gave you your minute,
it felt like a lifetime.
The alarm I set rang,
I let you go into
the cold night
without me.
I won’t be sad,
there's warmth now,
and tomorrow
is almost here.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”
But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

A #chivalrous man is mistaken
if acting polite he is faking
respect and consideration
while holding old views
about our full liberation
from the patriarchal system
which deserves no celebration.
