Moonbeam collector, dreamer, gamer, queer Appalachian MFA writer at large; just trying my best to navigate through this dystopic American mirror maze...
I had a buddy who once told me: "You should always take a volume of poetry with you to a protest -- doesn't matter which poet. Because protests are good poetry in action."

So I'm taking a grad school friend's book.

The richest family in the United States, the Waltons, made money by not paying Walmart employees enough. This forced employees to seek government assistance for food and healthcare.

Republicans’ response is to take away that assistance because the Waltons aren’t rich enough.

We need to start pushing back—legally

If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators.

🎥 Record.
📍 Share location.
📞 Call the police.

“ICE vest” is not an ID.

Today is our day America. Today we stand in solidarity with LA and the rest of the country to say, "In America, we have NO KINGS!" I will download pics and a few video clips from our protest here in Des Moines, Iowa. Be safe, be peaceful, and make your voices heard all across America!

All you need to do is show up.

Your presence will speak eloquently.

Without words, it will declare with piercing clarity that you are among the sprawling assembly that refuses to consent to the dismantling of this nation.

I have a new headline for this article:

"Former employees of tech spyware company, named after a scrying stone stolen and misused by a Tolkien archvillain, condemns unforeseen and inevitable abuse of its proprietary spyware by American autocratic POTUS, with the blessing of technocrat founder"
Former Palantir workers condemn company's work with Trump administration
In a rare rebuke, more than a dozen former workers of the powerful data-mining and surveillance company say the firm's work with the Trump administration violates the company's founding principles.

..."Kiss the ring. Grovel before the Godfather. Give him tribute, a cut of the spoils. If he and his family get rich you get rich. Enter his inner circle, his “made” men and women, and you do not have to follow rules or obey the law. You can disembowel the machinery of government..."
The Mafia State
First we got a mafia economy. Then we got a mafia state. We must rid ourselves of the ruling criminal class or become its victims.

Snyder nails it here. We're in the middle of an oligarchic coup. A takeover of America.

What can you do about it? Well, it starts with acknowledgement, a deep breath, and then begin; right where you are ...
