The idea to write an homage to Emma Lazarus' "The New Colossus" in the context of today has been on my mind for months. I finally articulated it in the poem "Our Exiled Mother of Exiles."

This entire article is horrendous. The US government sent these men to a concentration camp

We know you have your swanky PAC fundraiser this weekend @gallego.senate.gov. But read this cause it is what you condone

It's so fucking outrageous
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Betrayed. There is that cliche of an image worth a thousand words. So true... Save this photo. This will be an important one in the world history.

Zelenskyy is, as a President of a nation, everything Trump will never be. And Ukraine is the home of the brave... like, you know, in that NFL song.

This is an opinion piece that I wrote. It's time that we start putting the pieces together. I tried to share this on Facebook, tried changing the name of it, tried taking the images off, tried several things - and FB wouldn't let me post it. That says something...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

“Beyond the Binary: Embracing the Spectrum of Reality” was inspired by my class readings and how they connect to today’s culture, especially in spiritual and social contexts.
