Love Letter to America
America,
I loved you until my dying days,
loved the court I tried to sway
loved calling on Congress for equal pay
loved winning six cases
the court had no feminine faces
no representation in powerful places
loved my faith
loved my children, writing essays when they misbehave
loved my husband, we can now embrace
loved the life I fully lived
loved the remnants of democracy I leave behind
From,
RBG’s Courageous Spirit
No more letters, postal service in crisis
Notorious ACB, deliberately degrading
“Women support women,” a feminist line Republicans are co-opting
But feminism isn’t about one woman’s success
Especially one who works to oppress
Attacking a woman’s right to reproductive health
When access already limited for those without wealth
Feminism is about freeing all from discrimination and oppression
Trans women, poor women, immigrant women not just white women in a profession
8 days before the election:
Exposing Republicans’ hypocrisy
Undermining our democracy
