   Dr. Stacey is once again giving a WORD #NoKings #USPol #Protests

   "Because the body leaves thinking something has shifted when structurally, nothing has. The policies remain. The institutions remain. The power dynamics remain intact. What changes is the feeling. And for many people, that feeling is enough to get them through another week, another news cycle, another wave of outrage, until the next protest. This is where it becomes dangerous..."

     Here ya go. Hope this helps! Again, read the *entire* thing before mentioning me again. Or just don't. Mention me, that is. :)

     @f800gecko Did you read the whole thing? Also, I am an American and it's not discouraging. If you find it so, please interrogate why suggesting consistent movement building would be discouraging to you. Hope that helps!

     edit: If you really want to help with encouragement, help bail out some people from Memphis who were arrested yesterday. https://blacktwitter.io/@thiswomanswerk/116315430683087774

     I read it. I respect the message. We could all do with thinking about 'what next?' is where it lands with me.

     Americans have burned draft cards in the past. Thrown dye on fur. Gone nose-to-nose with lined-up cops. Shot HMO executives. Even moved to Canada. The problem with a piece like this is it offers no alternative recipe and does not even mention these things, let alone help anyone figure out where the red line is at this particular moment.

     Discouragement is not what America needs right now.
