The mountain is a library of old earthquakes.
The water is my amnesia.
The trees are scribbles in the margin,
frantic and clinging to the page.
We aren't the stone.
We are the panic in the branches,
the beautiful, exhausting struggle to stay vertical.

Trump is completely destroying our country and those who can stop him are sitting on their hands and just watching it happen. Trump has broken the law so many times that there is no reason to not take him into custody. Anyone in his regime should also be arrested today.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
