White Americans have the opportunity to do the most badass, punk rock fucking thing ever and make sure all the gerrymandering and Republican fuckery backfires. Race-traitors, someone said. Once, I got called a embarrassment to white people and honestly, it was like the world's best inadvertent compliment.
White people are embarrassing themselves just fine lol. But I know what you mean 100% and yes, these days I’d be VERY happy for any of those fuckwits doing their fuckery to call me a traitor. Pot, kettle, etc. So happy to know you and be in the trenches with you, friend. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm constantly in awe of the beautiful way you write about these horrific times. Thank you for always ending with a note of hope. My husband and I often say that the US government has historically managed to have the best PR machine and it has projected such an image to the outside world that even to this day, it's hard for our friends and family who don't live in the US to believe the truth under the glossy image. These days it finally looks like the mask is slipping and the true nature of the system is showing. It's hard to hang on to hope sometimes but maybe after all has collapsed, we can build a better system that benefits all. Sending you love and thank you for all you do 🧡
Thank you so much, Sonbol. I admit it would be GREAT to have one week where nothing absolutely shit-tastic happens, but alas, I don’t think that’s on the horizon anytime soon. And I do think the mask has slipped, finally. At least my sane friends in other countries do not seem confused about the next-level mayhem and 5-alarm fire going on here right now. I so look forward to the day when we can *look back on all this* from the vantage point of having created something better for everyone. And we will. Truly we will. Hell, now that we know aliens are real, maybe they’ll swoop down and grab these inglorious bastards. That would be a fun plot twist. Sending you a ton of love. Keep the faith.
Thanks so much for including that video about Memphis. I had no idea about that story. I grew up in segregated South Carolina but I was under the impression we were making progress. Sadly I was wrong.
We all feel as though we are screaming into the void. But history will remember these teeny tiny men with disgust and disdain, while the screamers will be building something revolutionary! A system designed for kindness, equality and justice for all of earth's inhabitants. Keep screaming! More white people are joining all the time, too!
Heck yes. These awful people will only be remembered for how cruel they are, and the rest of us will get busy building a country that is safe for everyone. That’s my best plan, anyway ❤️🔥 Thanks for being here, Sherri Marie

And yes, we can beat this with huge turnout, and that’s what we have to do. And so we shall.

So grateful for the fury and beauty of your writing, friend.
Well dang. I’m sitting in an airport crying now. Thank you, Paul. And hard same.
Beautiful as always….you give us hope and embody strength.
I have no good words for how good this is.
