Traveling...

...Flint to follow.

Thank you.

Trump is a plutocrat. No different than others, they believe their money can alter reality and deny the truth.

In last 18 mos, Mr. Cohen negotiated yet another hush NDA, this time on behalf of a prominent GOP donor who had a relationship with a LA woman, impregnated her and then made sure she had an abortion. The deal provided for multiple payments across many months. #basta

Ms. Clifford should be able to make a living.

President Donald Trump (click here) and infamous porn star Stormy Daniels could cross paths this weekend.

BothTrump and the woman he’s accused of having an affair with, 31-year-old Stephanie Gregory Clifford, will be in town.

The Stormy Daniels tour will make its way to Ultra Gentlemen’s Club on Friday and Saturday nights.

The venue is essentially right long the Presidential motorcade route, just 10 minutes away from Mar-a-Lago and right next to Trump International Golf Club.

“This is not what a normal porn star goes through when she makes a booking,” Ultra general manager Stacy Saccal said....

This is a poem.

i heard a woman becomes herself
the first time she speaks
without permission

then, every word out of her mouth 
a riot

say, beautiful
& point to the map of your body
say, brave
& wear you skin like a gown or a suit
say, hero
& cast yourself in the lead role

///

when a girl pronounces her own name
there is glory.

when a woman tells her own story
she lives forever

all the women I know are perennials-
marigolds, daffodils
soft things that refuse to die

i don't come from anything tamed or willing
i come from soil flossed with barbed wire

meaning, abuela would cuss you out
with the same breath    she kissed

you with      her blood
a wild river

my mother      doesn't reply on instruction manuals
or men            nor does she equate the two

can fix anything
if you get out of her way

says the best technology
is her own two hands

///

but once, i dreamed    i had no teeth
just a mouth                         to hold
other people's                       things

if this poem is the only thing that survives
me

tell them i grew a new tongue
tell them i built a throne

tell them when we discovered life on another planet
it was a woman
& she built a bridge, not a border

got god & named gravity
after herself
