I cradle my grief, a swaddled child Fast against the hostile world I carry her from room to room in an empty house I sing wordless comfort She cries out to me in my own voice.

yearning has agency. weight. osmium-dense it takes up residence in your chest, uninvited, assertive, feet on the sofa and up all hours, disrupting routine with chaos and turning the gentle reflex of breath into arrhythmic gasping. and still, better its rude intrusion than nothing at all.

feel like this is such an important point about accessibility overall people don't realize that framing someone's everyday lived experience as something inherently negative is not sympathy or solidarity it's actually extremely fucked up!

It is pretty interesting in retrospect that when Bernie ran I remember a lot of news people going āhow can you be doing all this CLASS WAR stuff?ā āHow can you be dividing us along those lines?ā and meanwhile their rich buddies were like āyeah about five years until crime becomes legal for us lolā

Most Americans opposed presidential immunity. But then most voters opposed the presidents who nominated several justices to the court and most Americans were represented by senators who opposed their confirmations. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We are meant to notice language changing in our lifetimes, meant to see shifts in fashion, in hairstyles, the march of progress and the pace of technology. We are not meant to watch ancient forests wither and seas rise. This feels so monstrously abnormal - so wrong it breaks our minds.

One of the most painful things about our American crisis is how it takes focus away from climate change - the single most important issue of our lifetimes. Of any lifetimes. The first 6 months of 2024 were the hottest ever measured. So far.

The Federalist Society is a terroristic threat to America. And if the president has the freedom to act in any way he sees fit to stop such a threat, I want to see firing squads at the ready. Otherwise weāre just grabbing our ankles for the right. Again.

Do not lose hope. Scream, yell, demand better, and say these thieves' names. You are being given less so that others can have more, you are having things taken from you by corporations because they must always please the nebulous form of the shareholder.

i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that

I deleted my original post, because I can see how it can be read as advocating for a position I do not hold, and do not endorse. Apologies to anyone I might have misled, but not to the scolds I popped off at, because I probably would have been mean to them, anyway. Go in peace.

I also understand why people feel like their votes are irrelevant. Voting is, at best, a tourniquet. But if it can slow bleeding and ease ANY suffering at all, we do it.

I understand that āfuck votingā leftists exist, and I empathize with them even if I donāt agree. But it is far more likely the person youāre wagging your finger at is caucusing with Dems and knocking doors with Dems, and remains vocally frustrated at the partyās historic unwillingness to act.

Thereās a tendency to assume that those to the left of you are disengaged from the process because they lament votersā lack of power. Or because they criticize democrats. But every leftist I know is working hard every single day to ensure more progressives and more leftists in the halls of power.

If you see Trump as an anomaly, it seems unjust to blame liberals for any of it. If you realize that Trump grew naturally out of very fertile soil, lovingly tended by both increasingly virulent conservatism and by the rise of neoliberalism, you blame everyone. EVERYTHING brought us here.

The next 5 years, 10 years, ā years, will be a shitshow. Talk to your coworkers about starting a union. Organize a mutual aid network. Protect the vulnerable by any means necessary. Agitate. Reach out. Hold each other. Fall in love. Make art. There is so much more to fight for than one office.

The Brecht poem with which weāre all most familiar is this: In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times. But that is the end of a much longer work, and I want you to read this stanza, because it is beautiful.
