to the quislings, to the cowards, to those thirsting after power: heaven and history will record what you do. to the obsequious, to the toadies, to the lackeys, to the yes-men. to the go-along-to-get-along, return-on-your-investment, in the fall of Rome you call your home heaven and history are witnessing to the Bezos and Zucks to the Murdochs and Musks controlling our thoughts with trolls and bots to the fascists who would ruin all the world to rule the ashes. to the vote suppressors, disenfranchisers, and Jim-Crow-Juniors: heaven and history are recording what you do. to those filled with rage who can’t tell this will not age well. to the tuned-out, apathetic, "both-sides"-ers in the middle who won’t do a thing ‘cause you can only do a little. to the 80 million folks with better things to do than vote but especially to all of you in powerful positions. the editors-in-chief, the billionaires, the politicians: heaven and history are recording what you do. the whole world is watching and the little ones, too. history and heaven are recording your example and the downtrodden, trampled-upon masses never stay trampled. so, to the powers of the hour: don’t be shocked to see a hundred million folks standing up for democracy. we can win— we’ve got to begin, though. the climate’s cooked— the window’s closing. now is the time we need dreaming— not dozing to everyone around the world who won’t cease to work for workers, solidarity, the planet, justice, peace heaven and history are supporting what you do to those who, in the spirit of love, are steadfast and brave, history and heaven will remember your name. —Drew Dellinger January 20, 2025
