🎨 Joy is resistance
I’ve spent years calling out what’s broken, but I’m shifting. Resistance can be joy, breath, creation, existence. This Black man — maybe queer, maybe not — is seen, worthy, free. Our joy is sacred.
Art. Joy. Resistance. Repeat.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
