People: Your signs are cute but what's your plan?????? What are you going to doooooo?

BIPOC Communities: We're organizing, mobilizing, and getting ready.

People: But I don't see you doing it. What are you *doinngggggg*? What's your plan?

This is what a lot of snooty fucking lefty bros/people sound like. Like, bro, wtf are YOU doing?

Folks demanding a plan like they want to copy someone else's homework.

Fuck, *do your own homework.*

Yesterday, I listened to a tiny trabajadora describe in Spanish the work she and the other trabajadores are doing to protect each other while ICE kidnaps them and decimates their families. She asked for people to join them and help them.

THAT'S THE FUCKING PLAN.

FUCK.
Ypipo, man.

FUCK! What are you looking for? Some Project 2025-like outline for a radically different social order? No one has time for that! FUCK.

Happy Sunday.

That fucking thread fucking annoyed me, man.

This is one of the slides from the big Bay Get Ready community NonCooperation training some friends went to a couple weekends ago.

I would posit that this looks like A Plan. It's not the only Plan but it looks good for right now.

I would also posit that it's a hard plan. It's not a technical plan like Project 2025. It's a difficult adaptive challenge. And that's why folks will be like, This isn't a plan; this isn't going to work. They're looking for technical rubrics. Sorry, dude. Shit is hard.

Later in the presentation they talk about the role of marches/rallies/vigils = these are symbolic actions that *by themselves* won't trigger a u-turn. The energy and solidarity of these moments need to be built on with alternative infrastructures of taking care of one another AND mass noncooperation in many different forms.

I get the frustration folks have with costumery and drumming. I was that person, too. Like, in June I was that person.

But seeing it as ONE tool in a toolbelt helps me see a broader context.

@DeliaChristina I think a lot about the phrase “necessary but not sufficient”. These things are necessary: without them, we cannot grow power. But they are not sufficient: alone, they won’t make change.

I feel like people think because they’re not sufficient, they’re not necessary. But that’s wrong headed. There’s no one thing that will do it all. Doesn’t mean the parts don’t matter.
