Here's a poem about being pushed around and ignored big time. I dedicate it to the united states-- or rather to all and any states that need genuine uniting. poetsreadingthenews.com/2019/03/lost-i…

Whatever you utter is noise shaped, a dizzy signal. The doctor’s got the fix, and it’s a doozy —Joanie Mackowski #PoemADay poets.org/poem/house-call

and wind works like beauty works, not attached to what it moves, —Molly Brodak, 1980-2020 youtu.be/TIIkdYIBDno

My new book COME-HITHER HONEYCOMB just arrived. Funny how we pour ourselves into these small objects and—if we’re lucky—they just show up quietly one day. Lol. V. fitting. Pre orders are good for presses, so if you’d grab a copy, that’d be swell. My gratitude to Copper Canyon Press

I’m, you know, still here, tulip, resin, temporary— —Jean Valentine (1934 - 2020) poets.org/poem/love-5

Storming the capitol was an act of political violence meant to express ownership of the country, regardless of the outcome of any election. Its surrender by the capitol police was an affirmation that will encourage further violence.

"Fascist politics exchanges reality for the pronouncements of a single individual...." (Jason Stanley, _How Fascism Works_)

1) here, Elaine Bredhoft says "unless you pull out your phone and you video your spouse or significant other beating you…you won't be believed" #backlash

2) Maybe she restrained herself for the national audience, but no, a woman who videos herself being abused still will not be believed #backlash

4) Someone else would have to be there to film the abuse for her. But no one else is ever within a woman's private life if she accuses a man. #backlash

Brava, Tressie McMillan Cottom: "When women cannot move freely across this nation, sure that they have basic human rights as they migrate, we are all anchored to the poverty of their choices." nytimes.com/2022/06/28/opi…
