Someone on Twitter asked how to keep from falling into doomerism; I have the answer:
Study history. Study revolutions. Organize your community. Engage in mutual aid. Understand that things will get worse before better. We must have REVOLUTIONARY OPTIMISM and know that it’s better on the other side.

ok so!!! something I found really interesting after talking to Korean protesters was... well, it was actually me realizing something about protest in the US: protest is trapped in an unwinnable spiral about "peaceful" versus "violent" protest, and even people
who know it's dumb can't break free

Deeply weird seeing people try to paint the protests in South Korea as family friendly parties when the one that stopped the original coup featured girls doing karate moves on riot cops and guys in the legislature spraying special forces units with fire extinguishers
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

you don’t get a gold star for showing up — you get one by sticking around.
if you’re feeling buoyed and empowered after today’s #handsoff demos, commit to staying plugged in and participating and showing up and caring and advocating because it’s important, not because you saw a flyer for 1 day.

you pay attention because a lot of people are talking about it. you show up because a lot of people plan to also. this is a normal way to get started.
what makes an actual difference is not activist tourism - a brief visit during peak season - but using that to get and stay plugged in.

all protest is performance. street turnout without using that energy to push you into effecting material change, however you can no matter how tiny it is, is just a parade.
being responsive to calls for help is good to do. better to stay alert and keep showing up, especially when the trend fades.

To be clear, I'm not wishing state violence on anyone - and I want people to be prepared for a shift. If you're accustomed to having your right to protest respected because you've to this point been part of a protected class, just remember how quickly you can be categorized as dangerous.

Okay, then here's a simple question for you - what are you doing after these protests? Selling pink pussy hats? Fundraising for 50501? If your answer is not direct action like mutual aid, legal help, or dearresting, then the real question is what are YOU doing to help the country?

It is racist, it's fascist, and it's xenophobic for bluesky to be constantly banning the accounts of palestinians struggling to survive. we are our of their few lifelines out, and the management here has decided that one of their most critical operations is to systemically let them die in silence.

I want to be clear, I wish for liberals to be safe too, but why the fuck do they wish for me to be sent to camps? The reason I want them to be okay is because, to be honest, many of them have marginalized people in their lives they may be looking after. I do not believe in collective punishment.

Remember when, in June 2015, a bunch of liberal queers and Obama told a brown latina trans woman to shut up just because she wanted LGBTQIA+ immigrants to be released from ICE detention? The same ICE that is disappearing people today? How dare Jennicet Gutiérrez care about people! I didn't forget!

I’m not as negative on them because there is value to be had but if Dems get swept back into power without fundamental structural changes to governance in this country we’re going to keep repeating this cycle until the end of time.
Protesting is better than apathy, but what exactly is the point of the "hands off" rallies? What are they doing to force Trump to stop? Do they think he gives a shit how big the crowds get, if all they're going to do is chant and hold up signs? It's like liberals think it's still the 1970s.

You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”

how telling most mainstream news media was either very hush with their reporting about israeli war crimes or outright omitted covering it altogether yet the moment there's reports of anti-hamas protests in palestine, there's instant coverage

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

elon musk is probably the current largest threat to the climate, as he dismantles every climate program and defunds all climate science research
supporting his downfall, even if it takes tesla with him, is a great pro-climate action. people can buy other evs that don’t enrich tyrannical nazis

This anti-Musk movement focused on Tesla is so interesting to me. Punishing Musk and driving down value of his company vs. the reality that most Tesla customers who are scared away will probably buy gas cars instead. Competing interests - punish Musk and hurt the environment?
Just saw someone say the Tesla protests won’t change anything but seeing the police lined up to protect a Tesla store does expose the truth of our situation and…I’m not sure people understand the purpose of protests.
