Zionism & American imperialism are the greatest threats to peace on earth. Israel is the real destabilizing force in the Middle East. #Israelcommitswarcrimes #israeliwarcrimes #zionismisterrorism

Ferlinghetti wrote “Pity the Nation” in 2007 when he was 88– toward the end of George W. Bush's presidency. Still today, it resonates. #poetry #poetrycommunity #politics #USA #poetsofbluesky #bskypoet #Trump #pitythenation #literature #writingcommunity

"If Pope Leo can show up to that group chat, again and again, while his brother rages about 'LIBTARDS FORCING US TO USE PAPER STRAWS'—if he can keep doing the work of grace without the illusion of agreement—maybe that’s something I can strive for in my own walk with God and family."

While each of us is here because of a mother, motherhood is far more complex than that. Some #mothers have never given birth. Yet they take on the role of mother. They are teachers, guides, nurturers. They hold space for others. They love unconditionally. To all moms— #HappyMothersDay #Caturday

1 . Gaza is being annihilated. Thousands upon thousands of children are dead. Entire bloodlines erased. And the United States is the supplier, sponsor, and shield of the killing. Netanyahu is not a defender. He’s a butcher. A fascist running from jail who’s building his legacy on mass graves.

3 Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate. It’s obligation. If your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash: No more money. No more bombs. No more fake neutrality. You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it. Now pick a side.

Just received my contributor’s copy! My story “Osmosis” has a special place in my heart because I workshopped it with the late, great Steven Heighton during my Sage Hill writing residency. His edits were so on point. I miss him. #canlit #booksky #writing #blueskyauthor #writingcommunity #amwriting
