What do you need a poem about? life – work – legacy open source means owned by a community – a tool held as a common good until it's obsolete, free to all but made by someone – someones – anonymous – iterative until these two eyes meet & in the space between them we discover what new sort of software is born, shorn of all pretence, a history unbound by costume or custom, a crumb of nourishment to pass on. Until we know the destination this travelling impulse is leading us toward, through a wasteland post- nuclear or at least post-modern, post-mother, where we mother ourselves into some kind of open source being, where once there was one creator, now you are part of a storm. & after rain, things grow Brian Sonia-Wallace 7.8.25

This election, Trump was the beneficiary of a pissed-off electorate. It doesn’t have to be this way. We on the Left — in our community organizing, our unions, our socialist electoral campaigns — must become the political home of those who are so rightly angry at the establishment. We can win by rejecting the agendas and sensibilities of the rich, and advancing a political agenda that will make working-class people’s lives better. We cannot beat a promise to Make America Great Again with a mournful dirge or misanthropic insults. We believe in the American people, we know that we all deserve better, and we have a policy agenda to achieve it.
