Because Republicans voted for this.

It’s a sad, fucking truth that this shit is happening for real. Is someone going to say this is fake news!?
Excellent piece Peter.

Silencing beauty is one of mankind’s (and I use that term loosely here) gravest mistakes. We need beauty to get through what comes

This is the kind of poem that doesn’t ask permission—it reports from the wreckage. “A poem that will remain unfinished” is a brutal, honest truth, and the blood imagery isn’t sensational, it’s earned. I like how you refuse comfort here—no soft landing, no false resolve. The idea that the poems must replace her voice because they have to is devastating. This reads like a witness statement, not a performance. Necessary, angry, and painfully clear.

This one hits hard. I’ve watched that video over and over again.
I saw another where an agent told a protester, “If you raise your voice I will erase your voice”…while I’m thinking, then the thunder of the masses will drown him if he does that. I can’t wait for the trials and all the video evidence.
We will say their names forever so they are never forgotten.

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Strongly done, Crims. The strength over fear is always encouraging to read, and to see. To overcome is a human goal always.
Your write defines that well.

Yes, you are a diamond. I like how you put this together to show that you are.
