Another much-needed public service announcement, this time from the good folks at @ cantpaywontpaydurm. It pains me, and it makes me weary, that with each uprising, too many people end up learning lessons the hard way (aka via the violence of state repression, police, prisons, courts, fascists, liberals, and/or the cops in their own heads) of what it means NOT to engage in solidarity—deep, abiding, revolutionary, prefigurative, tender solidarity. Let’s try harder to remember across, between, and beyond uprisings that #SolidarityIsOurBestWeapon—and instead make better, more nuanced, and far less harmful mistakes next time (and this time too). The state is strong; we need to be stronger. So be careful and full of care together, so that we may be dangerous together to the deadly systems that we’re struggling to abolish.
