Always interesting how much activists and organizers are despised & repressed and then folks yell that no one is organizing or taking action when they want people to protest or revolt...

They spent 16 months beating the tar out of every college student willing to show up to a protest and telling them their voices weren’t welcome. Now they’re confused why people don’t show up to the protests they still aren’t willing to lead or organize
All my Black and queer organizer friends are exhausted and emotionally wrung out. They’re owed five years of vacation and pampering, but they’ll be lucky if they can keep a roof over their heads and body and soul together.
Last week I met a few teens who participated in a protest at our state Capitol, those kids were giving politicians hell loudly- I made it a point to thank them but also to tell them "Some adults & your peers are going to tell you to stop being so intense, stop over reacting- DON'T listen to them"
Blindspots, and Dunning Kruger. People don’t know what they don’t know. That’s why we have to keep raising awareness and hope that it will make sense and resonate.

We could use some of that energy now
Whereas if we were supported and valued, maybe things wouldn’t be so bad in the first place.
I wish they would stop attacking us, bc literally they need us lol 😂
