Red and blue are just different sides of the same coin. The most vibrant place to be is in the fertile crack in the concrete where it lands with the dandelions and the plantain that grow there.

She who sends up gifts
In a world that makes no sense
Her wings were shattered

Israel violently killed 15 Palestinian first responders, including 8 paramedics, on March 23. These are the stories of the paramedics killed by Israel that day through the eyes of those who loved them.

The US must stop providing Israel with weapons to commit war crimes.

Neighbours are our friends we hear

This is the beginning of silencing all dissent in fascist America
The authoritarian free speech hating Trump regime is now rounding up pro-Palestine college kids and illegally detaining and deporting them for protesting Israel. This is a WAR on the constitution and a pathetic attempt to silence all dissent of a US backed genocide in Gaza.

The sky holds mixed feelings
of death and promise
The weight of ages
in Bisan's eyes
every time the sky explodes
the boat drops into the abyss
again
and then rises up
again
waiting for the tide to change
our hearts
our hearts

I just finished this extraordinary book written by @peterbeinart.bsky.social and have so much gratitude for his insight on Israel/Palestine. The humanity illuminated in the last chapter moved me to tears. Yes, yes and yes!

Toy jacks among angry kings
Let their resounding
voices rise. A chorus sans
corporate sponsors. Just. Us. …

Thousands of hours have gone into my Old Age Security Blanket Still the meaning of security evades me. I'm leaning towards security being an illusion we use to comfort ourselves. Seems to ring true in today's perplexing reality.
