My flash microfiction, “The Summer My Mother Remarried,” will be coming out this July in Best Microfictions 2026, judged by Diane Seuss. It is available for purchase here: www.bestmicrofiction.com/books/2026.h...

Sick post-AWP but I had enough energy to create a long prompt inspired by María Irene Fornés and Nilo Cruz, both playwrights I studied with who inspire me, and I hope will inspire you! open.substack.com/pub/goldmans...

A new poem in One Art! Thank you, Mark Danowsky, for publishing this. oneartpoetry.com/2026/03/11/e...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Turn Up the Heat: Melt The Companies That Profit From ICE and DHS. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/turn...

ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT......... 👇

So let me get this straight. The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here. www.thedailybeast.com//epstein-fil...

This regime doesn’t care about families. The MAGA/GOP doesn’t care about families. They believe in brutality and cruelty. Remember these stories when you go to the polls. You think it can’t happen to you? It can and it will. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it will happen. You are a pawn.

Join Us! Tell your Hell's Kitchen story! A write-and-share workshop I'm leading on Feb 22 at 3 pm at Prime Produce Guild Hall! Writers at all levels! (Doors open at 2 pm for a market) Prime Produce Guild Hall 424 W. 54th ST. NYC Open to all. Free with RSVP. www.eventbrite.com/e/hells-kitc...

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

Where is Peter Thief? Where is Jeff Bozo? Where is Mark Zukkk? Where is Felon Musk? They need to be in CECOT for the world’s most violent criminals.

A personal essay and a writing prompt for Uncertain Times. We must stay grounded and strong to do the work necessary to save each other. open.substack.com/pub/goldmans...

The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes. Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights. Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if your laws are only applicable to your own citizens and not to everyone on your soil, you do not have rights, you have privileges. #ThePoet

A new poem in the Bellingham Review, thank you Jane Wong! bhreview.org/articles/ode...

Giving myself permission to be has been instrumental in my healing journey. In these difficult times, offering yourself kindness and noticing your nervous state and what you need is an act of resistance. And a prompt for silence… open.substack.com/pub/goldmans...

Good news! For the 4th year in a row, major banks saw growth in renewables and sustainables OVER fossil fuels - this is important! archive.ph/TFOYV

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Remember everyone who is out there defending cold-blooded murder. They’ve shown you exactly who they are.

They use violence to terrorize. They use violence to suppress & oppress us. They use violence to change the culture & normalize brutality. They use violence to kill “enemies from within”. They use violence for ethnic cleansing & genocide. We are HERE.

We’re suing to stop the South Carolina governor from deploying the National Guard to police Washington, D.C. – a dangerous and unlawful act of political theater that threatens democracy and the rule of law. We will stop this blatant misuse of National Guard servicemembers in court.

We are more united in this moment than ever. And if you're writing, here's a prompt about beginnings. open.substack.com/pub/goldmans...

This tragedy was entirely predictable. Any reasonable person knew that an out-of-control, cruel, and lawless regime openly spouting xenophobic attacks on non-Whites and rushing to flood American cities with armed thugs would invariably hurt and kill innocent people open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

I am never impressed with any speech coming from an elected person. I am interested in DIRECT ACTIONS. We are far delayed in developing ANY effective opposition. The people we elect & pay should be leading civil disobedience & mutual aid. Let’s see them out there risking THEIR lives. NOW!!

“If your government murders a frightened young mom in front of everyone and then accuses her of being a domestic terrorist then you live in a #fascist shithole.” #DonRitardo is Pure Fuckn Evil

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Fascism is built on hierarchies, each suppressing the one below so they think they are in control. The billionaires>millionaires>men>women>Immigrants/Disabled People This is the poison they push so the billionaires have complete control and everyone else is distracted.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

“God damn them all.”

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

This is the freedom you have in America, to be shot by 'Police' wearing masks, for no reason at all, and then to have your Government call you a terrorist and block any investigation into your Murder. Truly one of the worst most unfree countries on the whole planet.

I heard that Tim Walz referred to the regime’s “propaganda” and it was the first time all year that I’ve heard someone NAME this reality rather than calling it “bat shit crazy” or some other colloquialism. EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT PROPAGANDA. What is it? How is it used? How can we counter it?
