We are inextricably interwoven
Like the yarn our grandmas used
To craft warm scarves
Each thread unique, bright
Colors tied tight, one knot at a time
A web of love connected through the ages
Purl, Knit, Purl, Knit
Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl
Alone—Fragile
Strong
In delicate married tendrils
That will never be torn apart

— María J. Estrada

America Cannot Afford This Dangerous Step

Americans should be chilled at government's recent designation of “Antifa” as a domestic terrorist organization (it isn't an organization). This allows for the criminalization of broad swaths of dissent, and won't stop with "Antifa."

America is Divided—But it’s the Wrong Divide
