a woman has fewer rights
than a gun
plan for life before it begins
end a life in the middle

a vessel for a human
a vessel for a bullet
give a gun the right to vote
there will be none of us left

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

God I love a woman who will abandon the world's expectations before she'll ever abandon herself. Simone Biles is a goddamn cheetah and I'm in her corner forever.

This is very simple.

We need 17 Republican votes.

Today we don't have them.

The only way to get them is for those 17 to be more afraid of what YOU can do to their political futures than what Donald Trump can do to their political futures.

Right now Trump is doing a better job

.@tedcruz - a Senator from our 2nd largest state, during the height of a pandemic killing 4,000+ Americans every day, weeks after he encouraged an attack on our gov’t that killed 5 people, and he’s spending all his time tweeting insults at an actor while his constituents die.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

It's an honor to be your Vice President.

Join us for a national moment of unity and remembrance in honor of the 400,000 Americans we’ve lost due to COVID-19. https://t.co/0BW7AQLxUx

A few additional excerpts from this this profound letter that I will carry with me in the days to come.

[Allison Smith @smith_ak1]

“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation...

...with all their scintillating beauty.

Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood,
