A poem for those who refuse to look away.
May we continue to look, speak, and feel deeply. Compassion is resistance.

Heads up people! Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court just put an indefinite stay on the order for Trump to return the man illegally sent to the El Salvador Supermax prison by midnight tonight! This is a very, very bad sign of what is to come! I hope they consider their actions very carefully!
