After the Great Pause—Rachel Dacus—Eclectica Magazine v30n2 Poetry by Rachel Dacus, Eclectica Magazine v30n2

Thrilled to have my poem "After the Great Pause" appear in one of my favorite magazines, Eclectica. Tons of good reading in this springtime issue -- enjoy all of it! With big thanks to editor Christine Potter. www.eclectica.org/v30n2/dacus....

Another maker is roused by a lightning jab
urge to create. Warm mug in hand,
drinking coffee in the dark,
I’m a drowsy dervish humming
a longing I can’t map so I switch on a light
and seek that light whose center is everywhere.

Portrait of the Artist at Dawn

Another artist is awake and working
in the twilight realm between moon and sun,
another heedless moth whirls around the flame
despite magma vents and falling ice.

This is an ICE agent at TSA. Post their unmasked faces everywhere.

Honored to have a poem in the new issue of Innisfree Poetry Journal, alongside wonderful work by some of my favorite poets. "Wearing My Art Inside" is up now. www.innisfreepoetry.org/uncategorize... #poetry

Minimizing your crimes only adds to them. He’s sorry he got caught.

This is not wrong.

Every American needs to watch this:

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Bluesky friends. The only favor I ask. When you see a post about a shelter animal needing help. Please please REPOST. I've always said it before. Reposting definitely helps! It gets them seen. You helped MELIA. Now let's help others!!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Abolish. ice. 💔

ICE is now brazenly and openly intimidating peaceful observers for daring to speak. This is what unchecked power sounds like when it know the public is watching. Our silence is their goal.

You can’t reform this.

Throw the whole department away.

Shit’s so bad in Minnesota that he’s gonna have to release the Epstein files to distract from it

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Giants star Jung Hoo Lee detained by CBP The South Korean was traveling to California on Wednesday to take part in a Giants FanFest tour stop in San Ramon.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling?

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Such a beautiful face! I wish I lived nearby and had a yard. Please help this sweet pup find her best home. 💕🙏🏼🐶
