Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech.
Jorgeous it seems I’ve grown quite fond of you tho there are no sexual urges or desires you come to me as a long lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa’s orchard
listen I'm old enough to remember 2020 when people were crying over broken windows at Urban Outfitters. We know all those corporations had insurance and reopened 2 weeks later. Property destruction is not violence, because retail stores and driverless cars are not human beings!!!
People in media are gonna be weird about this in the coming days but show me a better way to practice aggressive civil disobedience without actually damaging the property of an individual. These don’t belong to LA residents. They’re the property of a billion dollar corporation.
This is not a poem
This is a threat
To every empire built on bodies
Every border drawn in blood
Every cop with a badge and no soul
Fuck your flags
Fuck your ICE raids
Fuck your laws that cage children
Then sleep soundly in suits
You turned Gaza to a graveyard
Dropped bombs on babies
Called it defense
Then cried foul when the world woke up
Free Palestine
Free every caged body
Free every soul criminalized for surviving
Trump was never the disease
He was the symptom
The cancer lives in courtrooms and cages
In red-lined streets and blue-backed lies
In every hand that signs off on suffering
You burn books
But not the Bible that justified the burnings
You ban trans bodies
But not the guns killing our kids
You sell war
But not clean water in Flint
You protect the statue
But not the living
I am not asking
I am remembering
That the power has always been ours
Stolen, chained, rewritten
But never erased
I am a Black Latina trans woman
And I am not your scapegoat or your savior
I am not your fetish or your footnote
I am not disposable
I am divine
I speak for the girls who never made it home
The ones misgendered in death
The ones you erased while posting fake pride
There is no peace without justice
There is no middle ground in a genocide
There is no unity with our oppressors
You want respect
Start with reparations
You want silence
Bury me and watch what grows from the soil
This is not a poem
This is a warning
You cannot kill a future that refuses to bow
when he was 13, a mormon youth group leader told benson boone that you could defeat your homosexual urges by doing one million front flips and he’s almost there. he’s so close.
