   One of the main reasons I do what I do is because I envision a world where our communities are so well organized and connected that it doesn’t matter what politicians do because we have us.

   I’ve worked under this premise for years and it has led me to a purpose that has sustained me through all of the hate and dehumanization people have constantly thrown at me in my years on the fedi.

   I gave up on the state being a catalyst for progressive societal change a long time ago. Yesterday was just another confirmation that the US is dedicated to its own destruction and decline and is determined to bring us all down with it.

   Our job is to refuse to die with the empire. Our shared goal is to disconnect from it and let it kill itself.

     I’ve said for a long time the greatest threat to the US is white Americans and they proved that yet again by coming out in force for a charlatan that repeats the lies they want to hear.

     Personally, I don’t feel much about it because my existence has always been an uphill struggle. Hell, if you’ve been following me for awhile, you know how contentious the environment has been on the fedi and my fight to push this place past its racist inclinations.

     I get how people feel pretty down at the moment. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

     But as a person that has been fighting for a long time, don’t dwell in the despair. Don’t let the doom consume you. This is just a moment in time and it will pass.

     And it’s a great opportunity to decouple your idea of progress from the state that has proven time and time again it does not give a fuck about your wellbeing.

     Now is the time for ideas. Now is the time to create.

     We are far from helpless.
