They later went back to the classic "Lock Her Up" chant instead twitter.com/bardsbesidebar…

Headline on Anderson Cooper right now: "No Chants of 'Send Her Back' So Far at Rally"
Damn, the bar is so abysmally low out here

On the one hand, yes. On the other, to a certain ear, it can sound like "cop (mauler)" which is like the opposite of the point lol

Honestly, the debates that end up happening in "poetry world" are the same ones poets laugh at people having in other forums.
Poets, we're not any more righteous than the norm. We got some learnin' and explainin' to do. We got work to put in to be the people we think we are.

My damn, Franny. I'm sorry you had to deal with that bull. But it does underscore the point of everything you're saying. Keep on keepin' on! Celebrate and create.

Just ran into @IssaRae and told her thank you for her creative work and kept it moving, but very glad I got the chance (and got up the nerve) to express that to her. Black artists are vitally important so it made my heart feel good to do that.

Let's hope it's that first one. I'd love to have Jesus around again.

I was reading this tweet line by line and I was like, "damn, is Kenya pregnant" then I got to the Jesus part lmao
Congratulations for the return of the messiah on standby until confirmed.

Whereas... there was nothing really courageous about this essay. Or, rather, lament.

P.S.― I can't take anyone seriously who mentions MLK and only riffs off "I Have a Dream." King's words have been twisted so many ways, it comes off as disingenuous to me inherently now. Put some respek on that man's entire discography! He was fallible but radical and courageous.

Re: Hicok's essay―
1. If white men still dominate publishing, they're not "disappearing."
2. Your house/awards/publishing contracts are all safe. Your only cost has been to ego.
3. It's weird to write about diversity's inevitability when white supremacists run D.C. right now.

That's exactly what I was saying to the homies. Warren/Castro is my preferred ticket right now.

Indeed. But I wasn't surprised. Race/racism is a complicated thing in the Latinx community as you know.

If Dems & commentators don’t break away from left/right framework & talk about about a moral & Constitutional vision to address systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation & the war economy, they give Trump the advantage b/c they aren’t forcing him to deal w/ real issues.

Follow up question: How do Republicans define racism? What does one have to do to be racist?
