Okay another thing the Trump admin didn't plan for in Minneapolis:

Do you know how electrifying collective action with united purpose can be? Do you have any idea the heat generated by the fire that ignites in people's hearts when they look around and see all their neighbors out there with them, scared but determined?

That is not a feeling our enemies want us to learn & get used to. It's frankly addictive. Once you've felt it, you're going to want to feel it again.

A lot of people looking at Minnesota right now are fucking jealous too.

Not jealous of the brutality. Not desirous that it would come here.

But jealous of that amazing feeling of unity. People are getting hungry for that thrill. People are stunned by the beauty & power of collective resistance. We *want that* where we are.

Minneapolis's resolve strengthens all of us, & people have been shown what is possible.

They can't undo that. They can't make people unsee it.

I believe we are in the midst of a global effort for liberation.

People are hungry for justice & we know how many of us there are.

Protests against Israel's genocide in Palestine have been sweeping the globe for a couple years now. And what has it gotten governments to do? Fuck all. And only slightly better success with individual corporations & organizations.

Everyone in the goddamn world knows that things need to change & soon! So we watch each other & learn & get bolder & try more things.

Sure, it's been years of "eat the rich" & guillotine fantasies, but during that time things have not been sitting still. The temperature has been rising. People are becoming impatient.

And people are also *imaginative*. And we are sharing our resistance with one another. Plenty of people in other countries receive news from Minnesota as *good news for all of us*. It's good news for all of us wherever people unite to help each other & resist oppression.

What is happening in the world right now is not like anything that has ever happened before because it isn't the same world.

Change is constant. Adaptation is neverending.

The fash, the neolibs, the capitalists, all those fuckers: none of them are fucking ready. None of them fucking know how hungry the world is for change or that we can't stop dreaming of a world where we all look out for each other.

There is nothing simple or easy here. There is no painless path forward.

But y'all, we are not the people they thought we are. Not just Minnesotans or Americans or...

It's all of us. Humans are not what they think we are.

This is not the fight they think it is.

And that's why they will fucking lose.

They should have just given Americans free healthcare & a decent social welfare system.

They should have made concessions to Free Palestine protestors.

If they wanted to appease people & make them docile, they should have let more people continue in the fantasy that slow positive change would continue to slowly roll out forever.

But corporations got so fucking wildly greedy & obsessed with the next quarter's earnings report that they forgot that they were supposed to be lulling us to sleep.

@artemis "I know commercialization of everything, industrially corrupted food supplies, unavailable inferior healthcare and brutal workloads are killing people now. Is there any way we could speed it up though?"
