Hello, Friend,
I am here to offer some tough love today, if you’re already doing something…then I love you but this isn’t for you. If you’re waiting around for someone else to do something, this is your swift kick in the ass with a steel toed boot. There is no more time for sitting around waiting. That time has passed. Shit is as real as it gets.
Every single one of us has to DO SOMETHING! Make the calls, write the letters, enlighten the people around you who are not paying attention, make plans, STOP FEEDING THE TECH BROS, stop letting our elected officials twiddle their thumbs with the occasional sternly worded announcements or statements of vague concern or calls to find common ground or hold hands and sing Kumbaya while it all burns to the ground. That time has passed. Shit has gotten as real as it gets. They work for us and they have to FIGHT for this republic. LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. If you say nothing, they will do nothing. MAKE NOISE!
Between the purges, the witch hunts, the foxes for every henhouse, the endless stream of lies, the erasure of minorities and marginalized groups and crucial information from our government agencies, the shocking efforts to co-opt every last penny of our tax dollars and our futures, the manufactured chaos of pretend crises created to distract us from the REAL crises…yes, it’s all exhausting. That’s the plan, exhaust us, make us afraid, make us give up, make us back down, and make us accept whichever dystopian future wins in the power struggle happening behind the scenes at this singular moment.
Don’t give up, don’t back down, don’t acquiesce.
If you’re not doing anything….WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.
Get up and grab a fucking bucket and help the rest of us put this fire out, before it consumes us all.
