Inevitable?
A woman named Good is lost.
Unforgivable.

Note: I don't think that I have to explain this one to anyone noting recent news, but I have included a video link below for future generations who can still feel empathy and compassion for someone who got caught up in history. And I was just too angry to say more with this piece.

She was killed trying to murder a cop. I don't live in an alternate universe where that is going to bring a good result for anyone. Generally, the bourgeoisie seem to be clueless as to who is in control, and who isn't. People today are not operating from a place where they make good decisions. Yuri Bezmenov called it "ideological subversion." People today don't live in reality; they live in soundbite grabs and TikTok intasgram emotives that see them scream into their camera phones in narcissistic rage. Their endless tantrums mean NOTHING. "Force rules the world now, has ruled it; shall rule it. Force is triumphant." Arthur Desmond.
We are living in the surreal world of a science-fiction, dystopian novel these days. The senseless and unnecessary killing of Good was an unbelievable event amid the ongoing saga of this country's history. No pride remains....only disgust, fear, and disbelief. Heartbroken, I am filled with an immense anxiety.....waiting, watching, and reading.....unsure of what the next day, hour, or minute will bring.
I was so genuinely upset by this needless killing. Then you have Elongated Muskrat supporting ICE's decision to off her along with the other modern nazis. The absolute worst :(
bit too extreme measure taken
You're not alone in your anger, Kendall. Thank you for your poem.
so sad, so unnecessary, so unforgivable. ICE must be melted into oblivion.
❤️❤️❤️
heavy-hitting and incisive. no other words were needed 💙
Why they use gun before communication? Is blood so cheap?
The latest victim of ice-cold domestic terrorism, IMO
