I only have two hands and so every day I have to decide what I can carry. Regret is a waste of a hand, and so is anger. One hand is almost always reserved for hope. (The other holds tight to you.) - Kristina Mahr #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

f*ck ABC, and their parent company Comcast. It's time we spent our dollars on responsible corporations, not the simpleton assholes that have no courage. Please, consider dropping Xfinity. We are at a point now where every American corporation is duplicitous with Donald's desire to be king. F*uck ABC

“Then he came, the speaker. He stood in the square. He told us who to hate.” Been starting my mornings with William Stafford. Did not expect this one. (From The Way It Is) #poetry #writing

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

'I'm a'scared of brown people! That's why I had to stop caring about others and act purely in my own self-interest as a billionaire! It's Joe Biden's fault! He made me a worse person!'

Well, my mom used to work for a forced labor/human trafficking advocacy org. But I’ll put some relevant links in in this thread.

“Asked what he viewed as Trump's ‘most meaningful’ accomplishment, Moore began praising his border security policies, which was met by laughter as town hall-goers jeered, ‘Next question.’”

Nothing they say is truthful anymore. The very few Republicans who do know science – lie about it constantly.

The largest coverup in history!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Once upon a time, an attack of this nature would’ve guaranteed a congressional hearing. Wanna bet on what happens now?

Tonight, Clay Higgins moved to force a vote to censure me and remove me from Homeland Committee because I was doing my job. Here’s my statement.

LOL at the "just checking the till here, Mark" baldness of 'settlers, explorers and pioneers' that excludes, you know, slaves, refuges or the native Americans. Just straight up white nationalism, undiluted and unveiled in all its ugliness.

John Roberts court, the worst in US history.

#poetry Waxing Moon Caught in the diaphanous light of the moon, shadows hang in the air; Listen, if you can, for the sound of nothing, then remember what you hear.

#poetry Red Dress Red highlight’s the words you say. In grey resignation I move away. To be so grown, in a red dress with green bangles, a child that looks like a woman, red with anger in a dress too short.

An people support this tells you a lot about those people.🤢

Fear is a common tool of oppressors because it’s a projection of an experience they know because there are *always* more of us than them. There’s a reason they go after defenseless people to spread terror.

Heartbreaking Reminder:

“Challenges against the police” and this thumbnail is giving this

'She will be fired soon!' Trump declares war on MSNBC host Nicole Wallace

At a time when we have a president who wants to halt Black progress, silence Black voices, and erase Black history… I’m thankful for this 🙏🏽
