In recent years, I've spent a lot of time in the artist's house, reading and writing, and tending to my wellbeing by savoring art. I'm very happy to say my new poetry collection, THE ARTIST'S HOUSE, is now out! Thanks to the poets, musicians, dancers, and artists who inspire me. 🩷🎉🥳 bit.ly/3Lu3YS8

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

Some of these cabinet officials are acting like presidential immunity applies to them. They might need to read that case.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
