every may my ap exam tweets get likes again and i cannot help but wonder if people just dont realize that theyre from 2-3 years ago or if theyre just like oh shit i dont even remember that being on there
Donβt let this moment placate you.
The social and economic systems that have led to our present conditions and the fascists who have exploited them arenβt going away anytime soon.
Now is the time for systems change, and no one at the top is going to bring us that.
It is on us.
trumpβs loss was possible in large part thanks to Black and Native organizers who turned out in astounding numbers. we cannot let that go unrecognized, and how we repay them for their effort is by pushing for radical progressive policy and refusing to accept milquetoast activism
we need to be critical and not fall into the easy trap of being satisfied with a biden win; return to the status quo isnt a win unless youre incredibly privileged. blue oppression and war crimes arent better because theyre blue, but this DOES matter and can be a starting point
