it was (supposed to be) the greatest comeback since lazarus

This morning, "Ali in the Jungle" by the Hours came on my music player and I burst into tears and had to pull the car over until I calmed down.

I can't decide if I want this feeling to go the fuck away so I can go back to being a functional human being or to never go away because I never want to forget Troy Davis.


I have never been more ashamed of my country, of being American. Fuck this country and its lust for revenge over justice. May the Supreme Court never have a restful night sleep, may they always be haunted with the knowledge that they could have stopped this and they didn't.
