This isn’t a poem about:
“the future”—
it’s about the child at the
border fence, fingers curled
through chain-link, waiting for
a parent already loaded onto
a bus heading elsewhere.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Seeing the news… I’m okay with a search warrant being executed on John Bolton’s house…
What I don’t like is that the FBI is hauling in scrap boxes for collecting evidence. Not evidence boxes, not marked up and, I’d be thinking, easily substitutable if someone wants to seriously mess him up.

@safety.bsky.app we NEED a way to unblock individual accounts that were blocked by block lists we otherwise WANT to continue to follow. Please - I think it's been over a year since I suggested this, but it has become more urgent.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

How about a game of Capture the Flag?
When you protest (and you will)
be sure to carry it proudly - hold it firmly
like a shield. Your armor against the blackbooted,
jackbooted army that would brand you
unpatriotic, for engaging in a First Amendment
act of unfettered patriotism while you can?
