We had innocence before the world hurt us
The way we looked with wide eyes at dangers meant to tear into the mind
Taught us the lessons that made us want to defend the innocence more
Yet when it comes time to ask how we feel
It seems that innocence is a silent observer

Yellow and orange sunrise. A building with a white steeple in front of the sunrise. Two naked trees in the foreground.
I took this picture 6yrs ago today. I was walking to the train and caught this sunrise over my town hall in suburban NJ.
It also happened to be the last day I would commute into the city, as I decided to stop coming in bc of covid.
WHO declared covid a pandemic the next day, March 11.
A decent, honest, moral human being
Recognizes Donald Trump
As the embodiment
Of everything

SNOWDROPS Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring— afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world.
after so long how to open again in the cold light
of earliest spring—

Not only is the president mentally unfit, all of his sycophants in the Congress and Senate are too.
I need to cut my teeth a bit more before I could even call myself a good writer or critic, but what I am is a good reader. So I am here to tell you all writing advice is bullshit* or not applicable to everyone, except one: read a lot. Read fiction, non-fiction, theory, bad books,horrible books
Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.
I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.
So, we all just accept the fact that we have shitty leadership who are too afraid to stand up for the country and get rid of this administration?
What they are doing is illegal
He is a criminal
They are all covering up sexual abuse crimes
It’s a criminal ring
We don’t need an Amendment for this
Marriage is a partnership. Not a life sentence.
When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
Republicans are working overtime to make it as hard as possible for you to vote. Because they know that they and their policies are deeply unpopular and the only way for them to win is to double down on cheating.

BREAKING: The DOJ has reportedly deleted over 65,000 pages of the Epstein files.
It's a very long story but I had a Trump supporter in my house this morning. I didn't know that he was still a Trump supporter until this morning. At which time he was saying that Trump has done more for gay rights than any other president. My head almost fucking exploded.
🤬🤬🤬
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

The leaders of our armed forces are fighting an illegal war and have broken their oath to the constitution.
They have engaged in a war that cannot be won. It was all started by a criminal president. Now our very survival is threatened. Our sons and daughters will die. Our future in a madmans hands.

Can someone explain how when we attack a country ( unprovoked) and bomb them we are not at war. And the they retaliate and attack us it’s terrorism not war.
To the other writers on this site, how do you divide your time between writing, reading, and your other responsibilities/interests? I could really use some advice.

On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.
Good Morning! On this day, (Monday) March 9 in 1865, Margaret Murray Washington was born. She was an American educator who was the principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which later became Tuskegee University. She was the third wife of Booker T. Washington. #Herstory
Sane Americans should be profoundly alarmed. There is an ongoing conflict between constitutional governance and the coercive use of military authority to impose one commander's end-times theology on the troops beneath him.
And Dems aren't having it.

Congresswoman Emily Randall
In Tacoma for Representative Emily Randall's campaign kickoff. I've known her since she was a State Representative in the Washington Legislature, then State Senator and now US Congresswoman for WA 06. She is an inspiration and I'm so damn proud of her!
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
Please end this "spring forward/fall back" bullshit I am DYING
