Why are all the tix to @SabrinaAnnLynn in Columbus so $$$ 😭 trying to get three tix together for me, my hubs and 12yo is impossible

That awkward feeling when your trauma is like “change everything!” but your comfort zone is like “nah, let’s keep the dysfunction — it’s cozy here”

14/ Historical evidence suggests significant societal shifts often require assertive resistance. Peaceful dialogue met with intransigence forces protesting & marginalized groups to turn to direct methods.

18/ The next time you think, “I agree with their sentiment, but not their approach,” pause & reconsider. Scrutinize the system that drove people to this point & stand with those who refuse to accept the unacceptable.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

13/ This perspective overlooks the urgency behind acts of resistance from those systemically marginalized. The status quo is a state of ongoing violence and injustice. Gradual change is a luxury they cannot afford.

With democracy is under threat, neither can we. #UrgencyOfChange

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

12/ Our societal conditioning prompts us to scrutinize the methods of resistance. We've been taught that change should occur gradually and peacefully, leading us to feel unsettled by any violence in response to the erosion of our rights.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

11/ Public reactions to recent movements reveal our conflicts with challenging the status quo. Widespread protests against police brutality have rallied support and highlighted our divided views on systemic racism.

As we approach the election w/Kamala Harris, it's crucial to recognize the immense struggles POC, especially black women, have faced to shoulder this country's promise of freedom & democracy. https://t.co/wn5DcQ08NO

We need to brace ourselves and step up.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

10/ This isn't about glorifying violence but recognizing the sacrifices of those fighting for social change. We must question our role in perpetuating these systems & act to dismantle them.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

9/ When power responds to peaceful calls for progress with force, it's a sign the status quo benefits from the degradation of our rights. The status quo will protect its position, even through brutality.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

8/ The Black Lives Matter movement exemplifies how rights are wrested from systemically entrenched power structures through persistent advocacy. Peaceful resistance often meets forceful opposition. #BLM #Resistance

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

7/ "Fighting for your rights" inherently suggests a struggle. Throughout history, rights have been won through persistent advocacy and resistance against entrenched power structures. Power concedes nothing without a challenge.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

6/ As democracy and capitalism slides into decay, its effects are felt across society: protests against brutality, unaffordable housing, the increasing costs of groceries. These are not isolated incidents but symptoms of deeper societal rifts.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

5/ Recognizing our privilege to scroll past injustice or ignore it from our living rooms is essential. This detachment from societal challenges must end. #JusticeMatters #EndInequality

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

4/ These struggles are symptoms of the broader decay in late-stage capitalism, where systemic inequities are both the cause AND the effect.

As white people, we've grown too comfortable in the status quo because change disrupts our routines and challenges our beliefs.

[Jen & Juice🧃 @JenChaoticZen]

3/ Every moment of our existence is quantified & commodified within late-stage capitalism. Protests against police brutality, fights for reproductive rights, resistance to anti-LGBTQ legislation, & now clashes from Palestinian protests highlight deeper systemic issues.
