there are at least 2 lessons here we should bear in mind today:
1. People in power rarely concede to the demands of those with less power without organized resistance & mass mobilization
2. Ideas that seem radical one day become can completely normal the next.

though decades would pass before the 8-hour workday would be enshrined in law, the Bay View massacre galvanized a generation of labor activists who would continue to move the ball forward for workers across the globe.

But more to the point, what would make *you* feel loved??
Obvs don’t bare your soul here unless you really want to, but may I suggest answering that question from your deepest self would be fruitful for you xx

I think for me it’s resting in the love of someone who knows me at my worst & loves+encourages me anyway (and helps me reality-check when I spiral 😁)

Fully agree with you that love is stronger than hate & fear (& that in fighting wrong we must NEVER stoop to the level of our worst enemies or dehumanise/other our opponents) but are there some situations where it would be a #justwar? (& frankly I think this does apply to #Ukraine & to #Palestine)

I offered you my body and blood, but you scatter and deny and abandon me”
