My debut poetry collection, R E D, is a real & tangible object out in the world & available for sale from @Birdsllc! It was hard & sometimes painful work to bring this lil baby of mine to life, & it's an honor to share her with all of you. For more info: birdsllc.com/catalog/red

What’s happening at Columbia is the kind of resistance we need to cultivate on every campus & every public space—an irrepressible, furious, joyous, effervescent refusal of genocide, a reclamation: we protest because life is precious & protecting it is our only responsibility

And yet. The New York Times obscures the reason. They try to deny and minimize his sacrifice. We will not let them. This man set his flesh on fire FOR PALESTINE. Honor him and his conviction.

I am so afraid of what we're going to be waking up to in the morning. What the people of Rafah will find underneath the rubble. There is no "evacuation of civilians" happening, because civilians are the target. This is wholesale genocidal slaughter. And we are responsible for it.

I’m out of jail, finally, and I just want to say that these students are the lifesblood, the bearing heart, I am so grateful for them and their courage and would defend them with my body any day without question. Free Palestine.

this complicit bullshit, from the incoming president of PEN America, is some of the more abject, insidious normalization I have seen so far.
