“help…help” From heart to heart
a heartbeat staggers, looking for a haven.
Bereft. It is easier to enter heaven
than to pass through each other’s eyes,”
- St. Geraud (aka Bill Knott from the poem VOI (POEM) CES in his book The Naomi Poems…)

Our national forests = our lungs, our water, our escape. Revoking the "Roadless Area Conservation Rule" would be devastating. Nope. Not on my watch. share.sierraclub.org/s/CxUf5E2D

Or go bankrupt because they *might* get sick and need to see a doctor. One monthly premium sans discount is 3x the upfront cost of one sick-visit, even to a specialist. So I hear.
No one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor.

in case you missed this story like I did until today. She’s now bearing witness (instagram & book) from #home safely in a country far from the one that detained her and all the others whose humanity has been violated, more aware than ever, of those without either home or #safety. #BlueSkyArtShow
So happy that Becky @reburked.bsky.social Burke is home but that only makes this a more important time to remember on a far wider level the plight of so many mistreated at borders. We have a comic resource list here on the ordeals of refugees/immigrants face: www.brokenfrontier.com/resource-lis...
