My guy, people have been out in the streets ripping people out of the hands of ice

I get its fun to be cynical in the current moment but americans have absolutely been doing shit. I know, because there are folks in my community organizing, and they're doing so in the image of other community organizing efforts across the country

If you're reading this go find a way to get involved IRL. Meet your neighbors. Join food not bombs or a soup kitchen. Get involved in ice watch. Find your local DSA or PSL chapter and see if they're people there and projects that you feel like you can build with. See if you have a local SRA chapter. See if your area has any tool libraries or community gardens you can participate in. Lots of states have a stop cop city, or stop detention centers project, go see if your area has one you can get involved with. People only do shit if people like YOU decide its worth doing

Generally you’re correct, but the string of warehouse fires over the past week all across the country has me hopeful that folks are finally hitting the long long long long long overdue breaking point.

With your attitude, nobody would be doing anything. You're worse than the people causing these problems - you're just a black hole of negativity here looking to shit on your fellow workers.

They storm the capital building.

There's plenty of resistance and progressive movements locally and nationally - you just tend not to hear about them unless you're the sort of person who gets involved

Yeah, but if we keep advocating for violent revolution maybe someone else will do it for us so we can have better lives!

Being honest? Why I came here. And, frankly, I've been here less than a day and I love it more than I did Reddit. (Still figuring this place out, but yeah )

I'm seen! 😊
