Do you look at the “meter,” the qualitative measure your poems to help with revision when it’s free verse? That is do you take the lines and parse them into iambs and trochees or whatever is appropriate? Such as U / U / / U U / U /?

Jared Kushner's dad, Charles Kushner, is still a convicted felon.
A conviction remains on a criminal record even after a presidential pardon.
It doesn't erase the fact that someone was convicted of a felony.
And he's now the nominee as Ambassador to France.

Things are feeling bleak for the trans community, and you've probably heard some variation of "We've survived this before." And maybe you think "a lot of us DIDN'T!" That's very true...
But it also helps to know what you're up against, and what worked before.
So let's talk about HOW we've survived

This is how Democrats need to show solidarity in defense of marginalized people in our communities and just as importantly go on offense against the ugly and vile hate of the cruel and inhumane Republicans.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.
"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Just going to point out that the tech space has been aggressively misogynist and racist since...forever. So anyone arguing it was full of lefty progressives until recently is full of the most obvious bullshit imaginable.
