Your contact page is the perfect metaphor. You have betrayed every campaign promise to fight for the working class, and as someone who has received care for several health crises recently, you should be fighting for Americans’ ability to receive that care without going into debt. Shame on you.

One tangible thing we local folks can do is support Project Libertad. They offer legal aid, translation services, and many other kinds of support to families impacted by 🧊 raids.

It was a huge honor to share these songs I’ve been writing in hopes of meeting the moment we’re in. May this momentum carry us back out into our communities with bravery, humility, and commitment to a more just world.

All these struggles across time and space are connected. Carsie Blanton, who wrote this song, was one of hundreds of international volunteers on the Global Sumud Flotillas trying to bring aid into Gaza, who were detained in Israeli prison and endured horrific treatment.

Andrea Gibson wrote so many love letters - to people, to dogs, to illness, to pain, to caterpillars, to the moon, to poetry, from their endless well of reverence. Their love letter from the afterlife hits deep on this day of their departure for their earthly form. Thank you for everything, Andrea πŸ’–

There are promises we make to one another that we must keep - to witness, to care, to recognize and act on our connectedness to one another.

Playing at Steel City Saturday 6/14. Keep speaking, keep singing, stay human.

AND. there has been enormous courage and solidarity shown by those trying to protect neighbors they see every day, or neighbors around the world they will never know. There is emerging awareness that all of these struggles, these perverse displays of disregard for human life, are connected.

I wrote this almost 3 months ago. Countless abductions, raids, detentions, and disappearances have taken place across the country. Millions have been starved, displaced, or killed in Gaza. The legislation and rhetoric against trans people, queer people, Black and brown people, continues to escalate.

Here’s the thing: it has ALWAYS been dangerous. We do not shape the world we want to see by staying silent about who we are. Hate does not lose interest and go away when it is ignored. You belong here, loud and colorful and heartfelt and 100% as you are. We belong here.l

The prompt was β€œbelong” - a timely invitation to look at how that idea is guiding our culture and policy these days. On the first day of Pride month, it feels fitting to speak to the message so many of us in the queer community have received - tone it down, wait till things aren’t so dangerous.
