One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Stone listens beyond the reach of time.
The circle holds breath where spirit once gathered.
Shadows move like memory across sacred ground.
Stillness remains not as echo but as living presence, remembered.

Time steps away, but the silence stays. What once thrived now whispers through rust and shadow. Memory drifts between broken signs and fading light.

Officials in a Mississippi jail violently abused the people incarcerated there and encouraged other detainees known as “trusties” to join in on the beatings.
