I have thought about making this post for days, debating whether a small press’ opinion on the matter will actually turn tides, stop the terror that is being forced upon our communities. I speak now, not out of some grand belief that The Temptations has some great power in speaking out, but rather because I feel it is our duty to at least make a statement.
We condemn the morally reprehensible acts of ICE, including the ex*****on of Renee Good. We condemn the presence of ICE in New Orleans (which has been greatly reduced due to community action), which is personally affecting multiple of my coworkers at my other job, preventing them from coming into work for fear for their lives.
It’s hard to make this statement without acknowledging that ever since the dicktator was elected back in November 2016 some of us knew that this was the path that we were going to go down, that this was needlessly inevitable. The signs and procedures of fascism remain the same that they were in 1930s Germany—dehumanization of a scapegoated group, corporatism, nationalistic rhetoric, among many others.
The thing that still gives me hope in these dark, dark days is the fact that we are still human, that most of us see the atrocities being committed and firmly disavow them. I believe that there is a way out, that these times will eventually end. When? I cannot say but just as we believe that humans have an innate desire to create art, we believe that humans have an innate desire to love, care for, and save one another. Brighter days are ahead of us, we just have to weather, and most importantly, fight the storm.
In Solidarity,
Peyton

THE LADY AND THE UNICORN BY OPHELIE IS AVAILABLE AT ALL MAJOR RETAILERS

After fleeing the wreckage of a chaotic home life and a father’s public unraveling, a young woman arrives in New York City with dreams of becoming a writer-and a desperate need to reinvent herself. But when she falls into a heady romance with an elusive man, what begins as passion quickly turns into something stranger, murkier, and harder to escape.
Set against the backdrop of dimly lit bars, fractured friendships, and the quiet ache of being young and broke in a city that doesn’t care, The Lady and the Unicorn is an unflinching portrait of modern girlhood. Wry, vulnerable, and fiercely observant, it captures what it means to come of age in a time of instability-when survival means blurring the line between performance and truth, longing and self-destruction.
