We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

It’s NYE & raining here. I wrote this poem in 2013, so the five-year-old is now sixteen.
Even when it’s hard to love the world unconditionally, and it’s never not hard, here’s to imagining what might be possible and what we can make so.
Love from here on a rainy Tuesday.
