I've been working out, my muscles are strong...



After four years of Misogynist in Chief and a male pale and stale administration who has actively worked to dismantle reproductive justice and side line women this poem seems apropos to the time we find ourselves in. All those anti-feminists who have been leading the charge over the last four years, the religious right, the Republicans, the Trump Cartel, the incels, the Proud Boys, the voters of a sexual assaulter... Biff. Baff. Uppercut.

BOO!!!!

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Misogyny and racism are the raisons d'etre of the Republican Party. This I believe.
