always support workers striking but i truly hope this isn’t just about “spreading awareness” and i hope nba players understand just how much power they have, and formulate a list of demands toward material support for marginalized people and grassroots radical organizations

the last couple weeks, the in-game/post-game interview questions about “social injustice,” the t-shirts, the ‘black lives matter’ commercials & logos next to corporate sponsors, was pure neoliberal performance & we should all be exhausted with it—as it’s been proven ineffective

so i truly, and i mean truly, hope this is part of a long term scheme to eradicate these structural racialized violences—beyond just “voting” for the white supremacist architect of modern mass racialized survellience, policing, and incarceration in joe biden—‘cause it’s needed

but i have a very hard time being too optimistic seeing how the last few weeks have went; while knowing most of these guys aren’t tapped into the community, or specifically any radical on the ground organizers, and knowing radical change requires giving up something materially...

let’s wait & see, though...
