There's something so jarring about hearing the resolve of the DNC against gun violence on behalf of American children, while the Party's leadership continues to send guns & bombs to the Israeli military to slaughter & orphan 10,000s of innocent Palestinian children. #DNC2024

Americans voting for whoever gives them a false sense of security so they can go back to ignoring the crimes the very people they elect into office commit against the global south is a tale as old as time

I recently wrote this short piece for @visionary_lab

"When we understand the world around us, we don’t have to react to chaos. Instead, locating ourselves in systems and history empowers us to respond to chaos in ways that align with our inner wisdom."

To be an organizer is to commit to the contradictions. Liberation doesn't mean we will no longer have contradictions just not as dire. The contradiction we have upon us is which partt will give us a better terrain to fight. Bc we will have to fight either way
