I'm so fucking sick of this passive language. OUR communities are under attack and have been under attack.
Image description: a text image that says: "If authorities came and abducted your parent, your spouse, your sibling or your child you wouldn’t be “concerned” or even simply “worried” You’d be fucking enraged. But right now the people that you view as outside of your community are simply cautionary tales to you. And that’s how fascism is scaring you into silence instead of action."

But today the paperback version of Be A Revolution launched and I'm SO EXCITED to say that my chapter on conflict is back!

I got a copy in the mail and read that chapter again and literally cried, I love it so much

It is long past time to set aside our fear and access our outrage.

Please know that we can build something better than this.
When we talk about abolition, when we talk about systemic oppression, when we talk about revolution vs. harm reduction: this is what we’re talking about. We’re talking about systems that were never going to save us because they are too wed to oppression. We are talking about representatives that have never had any intention of representing us. We’re talking about the foundations of fascism that have been long built and have only been strengthened in recent years by our desire for comfort over liberation. It is long past time to set aside our fear and access our outrage. Please know that we can build something better than this.
