I’m feeling lost. I haven’t written poetry for years, but this spilled out of me tonight, so…yeah.
To the people of Palestine: I see you. I love you. There are so many of us who are trying to help. And we won’t stop. But I know it’s not enough.
#palestine #gaza #poetry #FreePalestine #StandWithGaza
Text from the image (my poem for the people of Palestine): What more can I do? All of this pain, this suffering And for what? “Self defense! Self defense!” the aggressors cry Starving children, burning schools, an entire people being erased And the world watches. Mothers beg, children cry, fathers weep. No milk for babies as they shrink ever smaller. But an abundance of food, medicine, water lies just out of reach, held hostage by those who rejoice at this devastation. Those who could stop this hell, they do nothing. They side with the beasts of war, of desecration. Around the world, we SCREAM, demanding an end to these atrocities but our cries mean nothing to the powerful. We beg. Demand. Scream. Protest. Give. We who care, who love, will not be silent. But still, it is never enough. Their blood still flows through the land. What more can we do?

My new swag came in the mail today from @altnps.bsky.social and I am excited to slap some of these stickers and magnets on my car and wear my shirt to protests!
A photo of a green shirt folded into a rectangle on a table. The shirt features a brown and tan illustration of a bear head wearing a park ranger hat that says “Resist” and sunglasses reflecting scenes from National Parks. There is a vinyl sticker laying on the top left corner of the shirt that matches the shirt’s design and color but says “Resist Destruction”, a magnet on the top right corner of the shirt with a white background and green illustrated trees that says “May the Forest Be With You”, and a vinyl sticker on the bottom right corner of the shirt featuring a white background with a black bear paw print and human shoe print next to each other and says “Co-exist” and “ALTNPS”.

Tom Cotton supports Musk’s actions according to this response to my concerns (that I’m sure he didn’t actually read). I will continue to contact his office even though every response I get from him makes me sick. And that last paragraph is laughable.
A letter from Senator Tom Cotton that reads: Thank you for contacting me about the Department of Government Efficiency. It's good to hear from you, as always. On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order reorganizing the U.S. Digital Service as the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He directed this new agency to modernize federal technology and software and to maximize government efficiency and productivity. President Trump asked Elon Musk, the prominent entrepreneur and industrialist, to head DOGE and find waste and abuse in government spending. Mr. Musk is a “special government employee,” a longstanding legal status in the federal workforce used by multiple presidents of both parties. Like other special government employees, Mr. Musk must abide by conflict-of-interest requirements. Additionally, federal employees must have a proper security clearance to access classified material. The Trump administration is understandably prioritizing accountability and fiscal responsibility after many years of bloated and bossy bureaucracy and wasted taxpayer dollars. I look forward to using the information and recommendations from DOGE to improve public services for Arkansans and to make our federal agencies more efficient and more responsible. I’m also committed to protecting Arkansans’ privacy and personal information. Please rest assured that I will keep your concerns in mind should any legislation concerning these matters come before the Senate for a vote. I’m honored to serve as your senator. You, your family, and our state will remain on my mind and close to my heart in my work. Always feel free to call my office at (202) 224-2353 or visit www.cotton.senate.gov. Be sure to drop by my office and say hello if you ever visit our nation’s capital. Sincerely, Tom Cotton United States Senator

Oh, hell no! You absolutely cannot erase trans people from Stonewall. There is no Stonewall without trans people!
A screenshot from nps.gov describing the history of the Stonewall uprising in 1969 as a milestone for “LGB civil rights” with no mention of trans people.
