Appeal to power cynically. Challenge power opportunistically. Build power strategically. Abolish power collectively.

If you want to stick it to the fascists, help houseless people. Help immigrants. Help abortion seekers.

If you want to confront the powerful, you need a coalition. To build a coalition, you need to demonstrate that having you as an ally is more of an asset than a liability. This means doing your best while learning how to do better.

We are in a time of monsters. The challenges will not cease, nor will the opportunities. There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

"The Syrian Women’s Council made a declaration on the current situation of women in Syria demanding an end of violence against women. Furthermore, the Syrian Women’s Council calls to implement women’s rights and stresses that women must take part in the political processes constituting the future of Syria. Read the Declaration below:"

If you're watching the protests and you're upset about property damage, absolutely DO NOT look at any footage from Gaza.

A lot of people seem to think that a revolution means, "Starting from scratch." If settlers, imperialists, and authoritarians have taught us anything, it's that there's no societal tabula rasa. To build the new world in the shell of the old means to commit to the additive process of dual power as much as the subtractive process of abolition. Shocks are not a feature to be sought, but a contingency to be avoided wherever possible. Fear and desperation are obstacles, not assets.
