He just said it. 100% unironically and unmistakably.

The air tastes
like memory;
thin, bitter,
and full of you.
Every heartbeat
drags through smoke,
and the silence
settles like dust
on what we
once were...
ashes I still
try to breathe.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

Louisiana tried forcing Ten Commandments posters into every public classroom. A judge blocked it as unconstitutional; now the Fifth Circuit is revisiting it. Freedom of religion—or coerced belief? Comment and share. Read:

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 8h

When tax breaks for billionaires were set to expire in December, Republicans made that priority number 1—because heaven forbid billionaires have to worry about filling up their private jets!

But tax credits for families to afford health care? Republicans refuse to talk about it.

Even and odd
Sit down and calculate
The pros and the cons
It might take a while
Make yourself comfortable
And go over all
The possibilities
Even as armageddon looms close.

Hovers over the ice

A plethora of #prompts from today: #bark, #pea, #ash, #candid, and #sonder.

Funny how they found their own rhythm in a city that hardly looks up.

He blends into the city the way ash disappears into wind. People rush by, screens in hand, their minds fixed on scrolling without consciousness. A street vendor’s bark cuts through the crowd as he shouts, “No Pea Soup For You!” to no one in particular.

He sits on a bench, phone silent, thumb hovering over a list of names that used to mean something. Across the street, two strangers share a laugh, sudden and candid. The sound startles him.

For a moment, he imagines what it might feel like to belong in their world. The thought comes and goes, small as breath, leaving only the quiet knowledge that everyone else carries a life just as unreachable as his.

#31DaysofHalloween #Shadows

Through the cross of stone,
a castle, now #ash
in the mouth of time.
Its walls, once bright,
now cast in shadow,
still hold the shape
of memory.

Black and white photo taken from inside Ludlow castle, looking out through a large cross-shaped window. The thick stone bars form a stark silhouette against the bright sky. Beyond the window, the crumbling structure is visible, its roofline partially collapsed.

Burnt all of her hopes and dreams in a fit
Her poetry became ash
Soulful words gone in a flash
