I picture a cliff. The waters below are treacherous. A crowd is tightly packed. Trump, Elon, & oligarchs are far from the edge. They push. Some Immigrants, nonbinary and trans people tumble on day 1. The oligarchs push again. We need to push back but our little bit of grass seems safe. Will we?

Keep Making Your Voice Heard It’s more than disappointing to see the scions of social media arm-in-arm with the new-old president. But the truth is, I have been disappointed with these billionaire white men for a long time. Meta’s algorithms mean that I am fed content that I don’t want and don’t…

I am so grateful to be a part of this. Thank you, Teresa. #grateful #poet
