People: Your signs are cute but what's your plan?????? What are you going to doooooo?

BIPOC Communities: We're organizing, mobilizing, and getting ready.

People: But I don't see you doing it. What are you *doinngggggg*? What's your plan?

This is what a lot of snooty fucking lefty bros/people sound like. Like, bro, wtf are YOU doing?

Folks demanding a plan like they want to copy someone else's homework.

Fuck, *do your own homework.*

Yesterday, I listened to a tiny trabajadora describe in Spanish the work she and the other trabajadores are doing to protect each other while ICE kidnaps them and decimates their families. She asked for people to join them and help them.

THAT'S THE FUCKING PLAN.

FUCK.
Ypipo, man.

FUCK! What are you looking for? Some Project 2025-like outline for a radically different social order? No one has time for that! FUCK.

Happy Sunday.

@DeliaChristina Re: "Some Project 2025-like outline", we had the Green New Deal and related plans inspired by it for sweeping progressive visions. I think we could have won a GND if COVID hadn't killed the momentum behind groups like Sunrise Movement.

A GND may not be sufficient to address the climate crisis, but it may be the best we could do to mobilize the populace given our current system of government and culture. More radical change requires a more radical people.

@skyfaller @DeliaChristina I propose “a good starting point” supplant nearly all uses of the phrase “the best we can do.” It’s a good starting point! (And it would allow people to get their feet under them long enough to look around at what else can be done - imo, manufactured precarity is our biggest or second biggest enemy in getting people united, whether racism pulls ahead or not feels like it depends on the day.)
