The people we're dealing with right now don't actually want us gone completely. You can't be at the top of a pyramid unless there are people below you. What they want is to reestablish structures that keep us controlled. They want to overtly give themselves all of the advantages.

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”
Different fear. Same America.

I've found myself very torn lately, and this post has spoken to me. I don't know how to respond to the state of the world right now. What does ethical living even look like anymore? How can one resist without burning (out)? How public should it be? How much is (not) enough? 😓
You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.
Remember their goal is to terrorize us. And social media is a fantastic way to spread terror. We don’t have to help them.
