My current PoeS.A project is "JustUs," a crowd-sourced poem on justice. My work is supported by a Camille Gage memorial fellowship. I loved and admired Camille and so this is a great honor. She always met moments of injustice with art-in-action. I'm humbled by her memory.

WE ALREADY HAVE OUR THIRD PARTY. WE ARE IT: “They’re never going to run for office, and those grass-roots leaders brought this administration to their knees this week to do something about it. So there’s other ways to serve, and I’ll find them,” Gov. Tim Walz, the 2024 Democratic VP nominee.

Pickle Rick ftw

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

Make it viral.

Seems like a problem that most every smart liberal and left wing writer, researcher, analyst, and NGO worker I know is unemployed, grossly underpaid, or in a super unstable job, while a bunch of 20 year old Nazis with the talent and expertise of ass hair are getting paid $300K to post on Twitter.

@heideerdrich.bsky.social’s Verb Animate — a nice take by @davigray.bsky.social 💛💜😀💜

Feeling pretty merciless and savage today.

Something good has come about!

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

It's March. Let's March.

If the sworn statements are provided, and they're lies, that's perjury for whoever signed them. If they're not provided, that's contempt. And if they're provided, and they're truthful, and they reveal lawbreaking, that's a sworn admission of guilt.

Even if that's true, which I very much doubt, the $ should go back into the Social Security trust fund. It's *not* a budget item expenditure.
