A poem written a little over a year ago; the first half in September after a traumatic event in my life and the second half the day after the election as I watched friends, particularly transgender friends, spiral in fear.

I am absolutely disgusted the ongoing detainment of a nursing mother who has been in this country for 20 years, since she herself was a child!

Are we great yet, America?
The mother of these girls has been in detention since January and today is her hearing. Supporters from around my small upstate town came together yesterday to show love to the family and bring this mother home where she belongs.

This is happening in the town practically next door to me, where the "border czar" Tom Homan also resides. I've seen an outpouring of love for the family that has been detained, but I've also seen a horrifying amount of hatred leveled against the family and local supporters. 1/2

This is the exact reason I want to tear my hair out when I see someone complain about aid for Ukraine.
Think about this:
For about 3% of our annual military spending budget, a fledgling democracy has been fighting one of our stated global adversaries & preventing their engagement elsewhere, a feat that would otherwise consume most of the other 97%.
Ukraine is an ally we need to continue to back. 🇺🇦

I'm in a super sharing and socializing mood, so this is my obvious attempt at attention by adding some more hashtags. I'm sure other writers feel that deep need to share and be heard! 😅
