"ICE is out of control and beyond reform. We must fundamentally change the way we approach immigration: it’s time to abolish ICE."

See, Dems? You can actually say it, and even draft legislation about it! It's possible to do!

Fish Poem

It was in a pool slightly deeper and wider
Than the rest of the stream
And we were mystified.
It was big, much bigger than we figured
A fish in a stream that narrow should be.
Not that we had ever seen a fish there before.
It was alive and so still
That we were able to reach into the water And stroke it
And feel its slick scales
And so we sang songs to it
And we called it a gentle giant
And it didn't swim away
And we thought it was a miracle
And we wondered where it would go from there
And we went back inside.

The next time I saw Tony I brought up our gentle giant
And he looked at me with a sort of bladed pity
And said "It was dying, dummy."
He explained he had talked to his mom
And his mom had said
The fish came from somewhere else
And had gotten stranded in that stream somehow
And had nothing to eat anymore
And not enough room to swim
And the reason it didn't swim away from us Is because it couldn't swim away from us.
It couldn't swim anywhere.
We were the giants, not the fish,
And we had played with it
As it was dying.

I got sad.
Maybe it was able to go downstream, I offered.
Tony countered with a "How?"
For which I did not have a great answer.
But I just think
If I was dying,
As l am every day, I would like someone
Who thought I was miraculous
To touch me
And feel my soft skin And sing to me
While I went.

The fight for the living world is upon us... back to writing!! 😰

Four paragraphs of dark blue text on a bright kelly green background. A squiggly line touches the left and right edges near the bottom of the image.

Text reads:

But, Klein and Taylor reveal, the new supremacist survivalists are far from impregnable.

They have no vision of a shared future. All they offer are remixes of a bygone past: the nihilistic, sadistic pleasures of domination.

If we're to meet this critical moment and defend what's left of democracy before it's smashed up beyond repair, we must break the doom loop, and find a new way of living together, rooted in our existence on this earth, in the here and now.

A story not of end times - but of better times. This book shows us how.
