Collective Survival, Adaptation and Direct Action Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media.

To be clear, I support everyone who protests, but as someone with a long history of organizing protests & direct action, I'm not rushing into the streets right now. That's not about capitulation or feelings of defeat. It's about a particular strategic analysis of what's needed, as I discussed here:

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
