The death penalty is flawed, racist, and unjust.
It has no place in America or anywhere else in the world.
Abolish it.

There are some lines that never leave me, like “we are each other’s harvest,” “praise the rain, it brings more rain,” and the last line of this poem.

It’s Memorial Day. Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire 3 months ago and I wrote this the next day. #freepalestine

In addition to doing this in protest and solidarity, literally no one should go to work where their bosses have cops beat them and snipers point guns at them??? Ever???

If the cops attack, we walk out.
We won't work on a campus ruled by fear.

Between the level of debt incurred *and* the calling in of over-enthusiastic cops to peaceful protests at universities across the country—from Ivy league to smaller state schools—why would folks go to college? I make the same hourly at a brewery as I do in my “professional” work.

Something for universities to consider as they perform fascist policing. Anyone immediately calling the cops at an inconvenience—which is really what this is for them—isn’t listening during their mandatory DEI trainings, shocker 🙄

Sniper on the roof of the IMU.
Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.

Cried a thousand times this morning and 999 of them were from videos of professors and students having each other’s backs.
