New promo for the latest piece. The video is paywalled (it’s over 5 min long! lol) but you can read the poem in its entirety.

This piece parallels my own thoughts on free speech. The fact folks act like Kirk was "debating" using hate speech is fuckin wild. As is the fact they're persecuting the free speech of not revering Kirk in death.

I am unlocking this post and sharing it again because I think it’s important in the context of what happened with Charlie Kirk. I used to be a free speech absolutist. I am no longer one. I would encourage you to look up the 'paradox of intolerance' because that’s exactly where we’re at right now.

National Guard to Utah when? Obviously a very, very, very dangerous place with tremendous criminals there. They're not sending their best.

Every day I am bitterly disappointed.
I have no words.
Fuck this country.
Fuck the flag.
Fuck you.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3
