The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Absolutely horrific.
"They said they were shackled, beaten, shot with rubber bullets and tear gassed until they passed out.
They said they were punished in a dark room called the island, where they were trampled, kicked and forced to kneel for hours."

‘The war which is coming
Is not the first one. There were
Other wars before it.
When the last one came to an end
There were conquerors and conquered.
Among the conquered the common people
Starved. Among the conquerors
The common people starved too.’ ~ Bertolt Brecht. #BookWormSat

That moment
when acceptance
stays,
folds itself
into your being,
no longer
wavering.
The back-
and-forth-ness,
the dissonance,
gone.
They fed the dark
and then wondered
why the dark -
ever hungry -
swallowed
them
whole.
