Every day, I have to take holy breaths.
You see, I am in awe of the loyal audience His Majesty Misery commands. With scepter in hand, he anoints them. “More, more,” they cry—and he delivers the deeds they crave.
He leaves his mark on every agency that once represented human decency—of which he has none. He paints his world gold, a shining testament to his endless hunger. His appetite for loyalty drives him into a darkness only he truly knows—one he’s known since birth.
But it’s his followers who haunt my thoughts.
Do they share his darkness? Every day, I wrestle with the question: how can a system twist human kindness into a bastion of hate—hate that consumes color, poverty, and gender? This hate has closed the arms of the woman who once welcomed and stirred the melting pot. I know the pot never simmered to completion—but the stove is ignited now, and the fire is raging like never before.
Rain or shine, this fire will burn through His Misery’s bombastic celebration. It will burn through every false cry of “USA! USA!” It will echo the movement in Les Misérables, the revolution against the Monarchy of King Louis-Phillipe—His Misery’s favorite musical. Viva la résistance!
And this time, on June 14th, my breath will be bated.

TRUTH
Spicy was never meant to be neutral in the face of injustice. As fireworks prepare to light the sky in honor of a twisted vision of patriotism, we take our holy breaths, we speak truth, and we resist. Because the real revolution begins not in the streets—but in the soul.
