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.
