Excerpt: "Our #resistance must be shaped by what lies ahead: a system sliding toward open #authoritarianism, the normalization of mass violence, and repression that is no longer episodic but continuous.

"This past year has made one thing unmistakably clear: This system is designed to wear us — and our movements — down. The most subversive thing we can do is refuse to disappear. Refuse to surrender our ability to imagine liberation. The question now is not how much more we can push ourselves, or how long we can survive in isolation, but whether we can build the capacity to hold on — to care for and protect one another — because everything ahead of us depends on it."
