They’re still talking about borders like it’s a math problem you solve with walls and cages. My cousin got asylum last month after waiting six years — he’s a baker, not a crisis. Leaders don’t see that the real test isn’t GDP or troop counts, it’s whether a guy in a hijab can jog in Crown Heights after dark without getting stopped. They think power is in speeches. Nah. Power is who gets to move without fear. My daughter walks to school in Buffalo, and I know what kind of world we built when I check her route like a prayer. Keep yelling about elections, I’ll be here watching the bus stops. That’s where the truth waits.
