Watch­ing

high dol­lar pun­dits pon­tif­i­cate about how this could have hap­pened when you can step into any high school in Amer­i­ca and know in the first five minutes —

Every­body men­tion­ing the econ­o­my, im­mi­gra­tion, etc. 

AND NO ONE MEN­TION­ING A FUCK­ING GENO­CIDE THAT THE PEO­PLE (ES­PE­CIAL­LY THE YOUNG PEO­PLE) ARE NOT IN SUP­PORT OF THAT WE CANT SEEM TO STOP FOR THE LIFE OF US DE­SPITE NO ONE WANT­I­NG THE SHIT EX­CEPT IS­RAEL AND THEIR ZION­IST FRIENDS. 

The kids are dis­il­lu­sioned and see through the pol­i­tics ear­li­er than we did. 

They see that the De­moc­rats don’t have their in­ter­ests in mind any more than the Republicans. 

The De­moc­rats’ only sell­ing point is “We’re not them.”

Ex­cept they are. Just quieter.
 

Those kids are still in cages

that they told us was the rea­son to vote Dem four years ago. The Dems didn’t even at­tempt to cod­i­fy Roe v. Wade when Oba­ma had the supermajority. 

We were still gonna be com­plic­it in geno­cide no mat­ter who was Pres­i­dent when we woke up this morning.
 

No one is com­ing to save us

Cry if you need to, but don’t waste too much time griev­ing America.
 

This is all go­ing ac­cord­ing to plan

Go read Marx. Cap­i­tal­ism desta­bi­lizes. We’re in late stage.

Em­pires usu­al­ly last around 220–250 years. Amer­i­ca turned 245 this year.
 

Find your com­mu­ni­ty

Build.
Fortify.
Organize.
Love.
Focus.
Hunt joy.
Tune in to spirit.
Find a high­er law to follow.
Disrupt.
Rest.
Refill. 

Trails be­come roads.

I love you and none of them can do $%!? about it.

 

 

The re­turn of The In­ter­sec­tion

Sat­ur­day I’m work­ing with Sacra­men­to Po­ets So­ci­ety to bring back a clas­sic ac­ti­va­tion that’s all about the peo­ple be­ing heard. 

You don’t have to be a poet. You don’t have to have any­thing mem­o­rized. You don’t even have to per­form. You can just come out and be in a love-cen­tric com­mu­ni­ty where your voice mat­ters. Bring your art, your in­stru­ments, and your words. Free for all ages. 

Tell a friend to tell a friend. 

The po­ets are tak­ing the street cor­ners again. 

Wel­come back to guer­ril­la city.
