And I know I'm not the only one doing this kind of thing. Please be kind, generous, & understanding to one another. Activists scholars & organizers have been working quadruple time for almost 2 weeks now. We're all tired and we're all making mistakes but that's OK. #KeepItGoing
Don't let your coalitions break up in this time when the only move the cops and the counter-revolutionaries have left is to divide the people.This doesn't mean squash diversity of thought or tactics or ignore valid concerns it just means solidarity above all and don't wreck shit.
The game now is to extend and deepen this moment as long as possible. Yes we'll all need a nap. Take one if you can. Work in crews, share the load, support each other. Act smart and avoid drama. Take time to pause, think reflect, and enjoy this amazing moment of revolution.
And yes this is a 10am pep talk to myself after going to bed at 4am like I have been for the past whatever number of days. Sondo as I say not as I do. Find some time to rest and stay in this fight for the long haul as there is still a long and windy road ahead.
