Coffee on Broadway Warships off Iran, festering wounds in Gaza, Disease hovering over everything I see. Brown shirted ICE officials kicking down doors, breaking families apart, carving deep ruts in Minds everywhere, even here on Broadway, over Coffee. (Poem and Art by Charles Braddy 2025)

History Forgot Windows have been spray painted and smashed. Swastikas on Broadway. Swastikas on a Mountainside off I-70 Swastikas here on a heart, marching home. (Poem and Art by Charles Braddy 2026)

From Colorado to Minnesota, ICE is detaining children, separating families, and patrolling American cities. I refuse to bankroll Kristi Noem's cruel agenda. That's why I'm voting NO on the DHS funding bill. (1/2)
