“Sentencing enhancements won't get police to investigate crimes they don't take seriously to begin with. They won't stop police from harassing trans women on the street because they assume all trans women are sex workers. They won't have any effect against police officers who believe they won't be held accountable. They won't sway the minds of jurors who think 'I killed her because she was trans' is an adequate excuse. Sentencing enhancements will allow them to dole out harsher punishments against the people they think are more deserving. And we already know that the legal system sees people of color, women, sex workers, immigrants, and the homeless as more deserving of punishment. (Tobi Hill-Meyer of COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere), "Disposable People," November 11, 2008, http://nodesignation.com)”

“Destroying the nukes mean nothing. Destroy one, another will be built in a matter of months. We have to nuke the hate in us first, so that we no longer feel the need for nukes against our own kind.”

“The fact that my 75 year-old Asian mom has two shots of the Moderna vaccine in her arm makes me want to cry. The fact that my 75 year-old Asian mom no longer feels safe walking down the street by herself also makes me want to cry. #America

“You know why I put that "rag" on my head occasionally, even though I hold no compulsion for it?
Because in some parts of the world people are still medieval enough to deem us "ragheads" and "desert dwellers" as subject of fear, hate, mistrust and repugnance. I cannot change how these suited savages feel by retaliating hate with further hate. The only way I can expand anybody's sight is by being the most exuberant raghead that ever lived.
We treat the worst of humanity by being the best of humanity. That is why I am raghead, that is why I am latino, that is why I am black, and that is why I am many more facets of human existence in one body. I am one, yet I am all. Or better yet, I am all, that's why I am one.
Wherever someone is pushed to the wall, I am there. Wherever someone is kneed to the ground, I am there. Wherever someone is denied the freedom of choice and the freedom of love, I am there. Wherever someone is denied the common decency and dignity in life, I am there. For I am but a reflection of life oppressed, for I am but resuscitation of life oppressed, for I am but invigoration of life oppressed.”
― Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“When the heart is overrun by hate,
And fervor is f***ed up with phobia,
It's no time for tolerance and truce,
It is time to blow your fuse!”

“Radioactive Mind (The Sonnet)
In front of the radioactivity of mind,
Radioactivity of matter turns dim.
In front of the joules of a just heart,
A billion ohms of hate become nil.
Hate is the question,
Heart is the answer.
Hate is the sickness,
Heart is the cure.
Prejudice is the ailment,
Piety is the cure.
What is piety you ask!
Nothing but kindness more pure.
Kindness is divinity, kindness is sanity.
Wasting it to codify life is sheer stupidity.”

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 1
Earth is but a bedlam,
All the beings are loonies.
We are so engrossed in prejudice,
Integration feels like blasphemy.
We still cannot live side by side,
We want it all for ourselves.
We won't even move a single inch,
When it comes to our opinion and ways.
Selfishness, thy name is Sapiens,
Upon its norm we philosophize kindness.
We invented fancy terms like altruism,
Lest we're infected with common humanness.
Humanity is too alive to be bound by ism.
Dead things can be dogmatized, not expansion.”

We cannot lynch our way to liberty.
We cannot nuke our way to peace,
We cannot hate our way to humanity.”

Against all caution ancestral.
Those who peddle division belong,
In a sanitarium, not on a pedestal.”

“There never was a real thanksgiving where the pilgrims welcomed the native americans to join them for a meal. And no amount of fairytale can change history. But what we can do is, start a tradition of real thanksgiving, by welcoming the persecuted and the discriminated into our hearts and accepting them as our family.”

“Good Seed (The Sonnet)
It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to be inhuman fiend.
But when they violate human rights as daily choir,
It is also impossible to notice the good seed.
It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to incite hate and violence.
But when a party coddles guns over children,
It is difficult to find anything good in them.
It is existentially impossible,
For all republicans to confuse divinity with division.
But when a party uses bible as an excuse for bigotry,
It is impossible to see the silent vessels of inclusion.
Forgive me, if at times I have been harsh at an entire party!
I know you're there, o good seed - it is time to grow some greenery.”
