• The global refugee

    I don’t know what to write, my mind is awe of what is happening globally. As a history major in college what is happening is history on repeat. Nixon, LBJ comes to mind. They were racists with an agenda. 

    I thought the last 2 years we had come really far, globally & socially. Turns out our clocks have moved closer to doomsday by a mere long 30 seconds. News has become “fake” & misogynistic bloggers with Twitter accounts hacked the election by misrepresenting the facts. 

    There are now as many protests as there were during the Vietnam War. People with legitimate visas are being discriminated against because of religion, sounds like World War II to me. 

    We’re back tracking at a rapid pace & the foundation that America was founded on is being erroded. The alt right has gained momentum it hasn’t had since the 1930’s. Racism, facism & the powerful elite claim they are taking back their countries from people fleeing rubble with nothing left to stay for. 

    I am scared of what the future holds, people of all colors have a voice & by marginalizing them we will turn the world upside down.

    It will be a financial doomsday of the likes no one has ever seen & no country will be immune or above it. The start of this has already begun in America, soon it will spread, the question is only how long will it take for the world to become a refugee?

  • Sea of voices

    I am so impressed with what took place on January 21st globally. The sea of pink even up in Antarctica. 

    People are paying attention & speaking their minds; some who haven’t done it decades.It reminds me of the chemical brothers song “galvanize.” 

    Propel forward & don’t let anything/anyone stop you for being the voice of the deported, criminilized, illegal, the environment, women’s rights under title 9! 

    It’s time we don’t hesitate to Speak our minds & be the voice of the people marginilized globally. Each of us has a phone, email account & most importantly a voice!! 

  • Dear America,

    After over 30 years together I feel like I need to end things with you. You’re no longer who you say you are, it’s like you have changed. Really since when was the tanning booth better then your people or even me? You are acting like another country, I am sure you know who I mean, it starts with an R. 

    R is really scary, they took Hillary away from us when we needed her the most. Who does that?? Really? I have many friends on your shores but there’s airplanes so like whatever. 

    I remember you in the late 80’s and 90’s you were fab. You helped Germany tear down a wall, remember? Now, you want to build one so my parents will have to pick their own produce. Who does that? My parents are old.

    I remember NYC in the 90’s so independent and cool. Now NYC is like you, like everywhere. The same Starbucks on every corner. I don’t know who you are anymore so I am breaking up with you. I’ll keep rockin in the Free world; what will you do, listen to Adele and feel sorry for yourself?
