Alas, “Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism” (a collection of essays from the streets during the Ferguson uprising era) continues to be relevant again & again:

“The lines of oppression are already drawn. The only question is, Which side are you on in the struggle against the violence that is white supremacy and policing? ‘Taking Sides’ supplies an ethical compass and militant map of the terrain, arguing not for reform of structurally brutal institutions but rather for their abolition. Its thirteen essays are sharp interventions that take particular aim at the role of nonprofits, ‘ally’ politics, and ‘peace police in demobilizing rebellions against hierarchical power. The authors offer tools to hone strategies and tactics of resistance, and hold out the promise of robust, tangible solidarity across racial and other lines, because in the battle for systemic transformation, there are no outside agitators.”

As if settler colonizers weren't already detached from any responsibility to build meaningful relationships to Indigenous Peoples whose lands they're occupying, they now have a number they can text to find out whose lands they're on to do a #LandAcknowledgement. Fuck your digitized and analogue allyship performances. #LandBack #AntiColonial #AccomplicesNotAllies
