1/ The system works in such a way that we’d be all outraged & heartbroken now about George Floyd, but after a few days outrage fatigue takes over and we’d return to the chronic state of low level depression among millions of people that is exactly what keeps the system in place.

2/ Change won’t come from spurts of adrenaline-based effort bound to depress us more when any one effort doesn’t succeed. It will come from hunkering down and preparing ourselves for a long sustained effort, an activism that’s here to stay because we’re not done until it’s done.

3/ You can turn to the back page of the book & see how the story ends: Love wins. Love wins because that's ordained; what's completely up to us is how long it takes & how much suffering comes first. The people of the world have suffered enough. It's time for love to have its say.

What's missing is a discussion of police training, still a very scattered undertaking with many training programs based on bad logic or even bad data. We will always ask cops to make judgement calls-we need to make sure they have the right information on which to base their calls

We are deep into tyranny, the two wings of the one, warmongering oppressive party need to be abolished. It’s time, what’s it going to take?

Rioting to bring a tyrannical government into submission or overthrowing that government if need be is literally the MOST American of traditions. Up until this point, it was only reserved for white men. They know this. They just don’t want you to know this. #Constitution

Change won't happen within the current, corrupt political system, it must come from outside of it and it must come from the people this time, not from "leaders". #NaturalLaw #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy
