I really do think an important component of activism is to make sure your motivation is based on a desire to help/improve things for the people being harmed by a system, and not hatred for the ones doing the harm. both for mental health reasons, and because either way you're training your neural pathways and it's gonna turn out a lot better for literally everyone if the question on everyone's mind after achieving a goal is "how/which people can we help next, what's the next step for improving things" and not "who do we need to attack next."

I'm not saying don't be angry, there are a lot of good reasons to be angry right now and it makes for an excellent kick in the pants, just don't define yourself by it or it's gonna poison you and potentially do collateral damage.

the easiest people to attack will always be whoever’s closest and whoever’s vulnerable.

if you’re training yourself to enjoy the thrill of righteous violence, your easiest, quickest joy is going to be from attacking someone in your peer group, not whoever’s actually got the social leverage to be oppressing you.

this is called lateral violence and is the absolute bane of activist circles everywhere.

Cops busting through a barricade that they set up is pretty tough to misinterpret.

[tonguetyd]

This is from a couple nights ago, the state police have since been dispelled by the mayor of Newark and protests outside Delaney have quieted significantly.

Having said that! Yeah! Shit was fucked! Reminder these barricades were only up because the governor wanted to have a “designated first amendment zone” (as if the rest of the country isn’t one???) and then in they came through.

Very proud of everyone still going out there and supporting the people inside WHO ARE STILL ON HUNGER STRIKE BTW, HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE OR BEEN ALLOWED VISITORS BTW, HAVE STILL NOT HAD DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH INSPECTIONS BTW.

Don’t let the horrific response of the state police and state government distract you from the reason for all of this. The people inside that detention center deserve care and freedom.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

no one is coming to save yo- wrong!! everyone who has ever shown you love and/or care is saving you a little bit.

[richerandmorepossible]

no one is comi - wrong!! someone always comes! the uber driver came to take me to my new apartment. my kindergarten teachers came to teach me how to count and read. all the people who researched, wrote and edited my favourite books came to share a new way of thinking about the world. enough of this individualist bullshit, someone always comes. fred rogers was right, we were all loved into being. someone always comes.
