I don’t have to respond whenever provoked.
No one does.
Steward your energy well.
We have justice work to do.
And strategy to outline.
And self-care to prioritize.
And love to live.
It’s okay to let provocateurs leave empty handed.
If you’re the only one benefiting from your ideas of liberation, faith, and equality, then your ideas are not freedom but exploitation. Liberation, faith, and equality is intersectional and collective. And if it’s not, it’s not liberation.
Just to recap: We spend $750 billion a year on the Military to "bring democracy" to other countries but we can't pass a bill to make it easier for Americans to vote here.
