One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

I could have Split the atom With the effort It takes to simply Keep living. #poetry

This is the most racist Supreme Court since Plessy v. Ferguson and the most racist president since andrew jackson.

If the Trump administration cared about addressing crime, it would tell ICE agents to stop kidnapping and torturing people. But it's encouraging and rewarding them for doing so because it is a criminal enterprise. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...

Workers Over Billionaires Concord NH with BERNIE SANDERS AND RO KHANNA---11AM-3PM AT THE STATE HOUSE #ConcordNH#workersoverbillionaires#laborday#protest

At some point Trump is going to call for the removal from congress of dozens of Democrats, all of them accused of mortgage fraud, and Corporate Media will obsess over details of the accusations rather than just calling it a partisan purge and fascist consolidation of power. Stop taking the bait.

Kakistocracy rule by the most incompetent So, we have a Plutocratic Kakistocracy. #kakistocracy#oligarchy#tyranny#language

crickets are calling the summer home for autumn tell me once again...

When I see the glee on psychopathic MAGAT faces when they get to open an actual concentration camp called Alligator Alcatraz… I cannot explain the rage that goes from my head, down to my toes. Abhorrent from its very conception. What say you?! 😎✨

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on the court limiting nationwide injunctions on birthright citizenship: "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.“ REPOST if you stand with Justice Sotomayor against the “orange goul” tRamp !

today I took the kayak out and drifted in still waters past opening pond lilies the curiosity of frogs peeping above the surface emerging insects a great gulleted bird spanned the sky above pine and maple groves

i am trying to remember what it was like when we laughed aloud unable to stop

Exit approaching, A road rolling up behind, Oh, for memories...

Still no statement or post from the President regarding Juneteenth.

waking at midnight, chasing the same old dreamscape. breathe, one two three four

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

The face of the pond: Tracks of dusk driven turkeys, The red shouldered hawk.

As seen from above: The lonesome foot traveler, Night of a new moon.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

worry wakes to vague thunder and the futility of clocks ~~~

how on earth did you learn this sense of unworthiness what authority granted such certainty that it crept into your bones and might I ask their leave to playfully sprinkle laughter into your marrow? #vss365 #marrow

oh America, we are indeed on the Titanic, the predators wait with bated breath, ...let's hope we do not take others down with us in our fearful wake #politics #america #fascism

try to remember distant train whistles at night calling adventure

black body on the ground. what did you expect, 'nothing to see here'

sunlit water sprays like diamonds tossed to the sky, frog in Heron's beak

She came here as a toddler, and would have been eligible for DACA if the program was not ended. Now she is in ICE detention because she took a right turn on a red light. Her father is in the same detention center, arrested for a traffic violation two weeks prior. newschannel9.com/news/local/f...

Morning comes to town, illuminating debris, the wilting flowers of loss, wind-driven hearts and cards. A mother draws the curtains. spoons out coffee & weeps because the world had died. Again and again

Today is Jackie Robinson day, it honors Jackie Robinson, a baseball player who broke the colour barrier in major league baseball, becoming the first Black player to ever play in an MLB game. His impact on baseball is unsurpassable and deserves to be celebrated and remembered and revered forever.
