No matter the result of this election, white supremacy will endure, patriarchy will endure, classism will endure, homophobia will endure, transphobia will endure, and more. Make sure your commitment to ending these systems of oppression also endures.

People lining up for hours to participate in a system that was never intended to work for us is sad. Our teachers lied to us, media lies to us, celebrities lie to us, trump/republicans lie to us, biden/democrats lie to us.
Our votes legitimize their lies & our cycle of abuse.
