“We can’t take care of everyone.” #poem #poetry
A poem entitled “Everyone” 

Everyone
by Kathryn Hyde

“We can’t take care of Everyone.” 
       I’m paraphrasing. That’s not what he said.
“It’s not possible to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all of the individual things.”
       So, I was wrong. It’s not Everyone.
       It’s specific people. 
       It’s the children;
       It’s the poor;
       It’s the elderly. 
They’re the ones. 
We can’t take care of them.
We can’t take care of Everyone.


If I scroll back,
       there’s a woman,
              staring out a window,
                     hair floating in zero gravity.
She’s looking at the world.
       The whole world.
       Everyone.
Surely there are people looking back.    
       Surely, some.
       At least Someone. 
If she wanted, she could block out the whole world with her palm pressed flat on that pane of glass. Everyone.


“We’re fighting wars.”
       That’s his reason.
       Not against Everyone.
       It’s specific people.
They’re the ones. 
We’re taking care of them.
So, we can’t take care of Everyone.
We’re fighting wars.


Actually, I misspoke earlier.
       She’s not in zero gravity. 
       It doesn’t exist. 
No matter how far we travel, we are subject to the pull of every other object. It’s inescapable. As far as we can go, could go, will go, we will always be tugged. 
All matter exerts gravity. 
       The moon,
              the sun,
                      the Earth,
                            every rock,
                            every tree,
                            every bird,
                            every person,
                            Everyone.

This poem is unfolding in a pattern I have to abandon. His words should go right here,

but all I can focus on is the image of that fiery hot capsule in a terrifying plummet back toward Earth. Streaking downward until three parachutes mercifully open, just before splashdown. 
Back to us, to Everyone.

I can't imagine being one of the people who didn't vote for Kamala Harris today. To know that I am responsible for all this? To know that I did this to the world? I wish they would have cared about something bigger than themselves.

Is it true that Todd Blanche is in the Epstein files and that is the reason he refuses to release more files?

I’m not saying all Christian Zionists are in the “Jews Killed Jesus” camp, but that’s exactly what I’m saying

exhaustedoptimist.bsky.social @exhaustedoptimist.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
They want a holy war to usher in the end times. They persuaded Trump to do this. I’m not being dramatic. Our ambassador to Israel is a Christian Zionist who thinks we need to prompt a holy war to help God send Jesus back to earth. This is real. And a lot in the admin agree. Trump is clueless.

They’ll run out of people willing to do the work. It’s a matter of time until they offer detainees a deal if they’ll work for ICE. It’s a page from an old playbook.

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.
