Hope. Act. Hope. Act. Hope. Act. Cry, deep breath, scream into void, then go again. Much as it goes against my nature to say it: there’s no more time for our despondency.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court obtained arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for war crimes. He also faces charges of sexual misconduct. The two issues have become entangled.

The absolutely horrific reports of inhumane and degrading treatment that the courageous people abducted from the Sumud Flotilla have been subjected to should jolt the Prime Minister Albanese and Minister Wong into action.

If the National Press Club is silencing journalists rather than loudly and bravely denouncing the attacks on~and murder of~them, and amplifying their voices, then what’s the point of it? Shame on you NPC.

"Who around the world allows this to happen?"
~A mother next to her child who had been shot.

Whatever action you can take: take it. Only light can drive out darkness and your action is light, however small. All our tiny candles can bring an end to this unimaginable darkness. They must.

"UNICEF Spox James Elder is back in Gaza and says the violence is worse than ever.

"A horror show, paid for with US tax dollars."

If we all do a little, it can mean a lot. I *know* we can feel useless and powerless from far away. Don't let that futillity get in the way of taking whatever small action you can. 💛🕊️

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Same goes for public schools, colleges, and universities.
the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I really do recommend writing poetry, because if you write it (even if you aren't satisfied with your own poems as: whom amongst us) you will start to _read_ other people's poetry with more excitement and focus and appreciation, and that is a joy.
