The US political landscape, explains the poet, teems with deadly, dangerous and toxic notions and figures whom we are told to embrace.
âTis The Season Of Suicide
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Letâs go get stoned
Letâs go get stoned
And while weâre out
Letâs pick up six packs of
Cluster bombs from General
Dynamicsââbombiesâ for our
Babies and grandbabies to play withâŚ
Letâs go get shot
Letâs go get shot
Attempting beer with a
Notorious Negro sheriffâ
Judas Stephen Clarkeâand
Other bassackwards Negroz
Of the Thom-ass Clarence-
Strong-arm Williams TribeâŚ
Letâs go get screwed
Letâs go get screwed
By neo-liberal, lemon-dick
Dems, since itâs the season of
PSYOPs âsuicide coming once
Every four years, making us
Hurt ourselves⌠seven generationsâŚ

"(Donât) 'Say his name!'" is the latest from BAR's Poet-in-Residence.
Somalia remains a laboratory for imperialist military attacks and interventions intended to prevent the formation of a stable and secure state.
While China and Russia honor their historic defeat of fascism, the West has revitalized it. The doctrine of exceptionalism serves as a modern justification for genocide and imperial aggression.
The rhetoric of crime prevention has always served to enforce colonial order. Today, this same logic drives the policing of Black neighborhoods as a form of urban pacification.
A federal crackdown in Washington, D.C., is escalating a bipartisan war against the Black working class. This assault, enabled by local Black misleadership, exposes the colonial nature of policing.
