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.

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.

That fucking thread fucking annoyed me, man.

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.

Shit is bonkers in the world right now.

Someone asked: What can I do?

Maybe because it's a gorgeous Sunday and I woke up singing This Is The Day (a praise song from my youth) but I suddenly thought: Be a good neighbor.

Just....Be a good neighbor, dude.

Oof. #Therapy was deeeeep today.

For the first time, I realized that we (Black folks) are potentially in another diasporic moment wrt all the current fascist shenanigans.

Like, if These Assholes get the country they want, this will force a number of us to flee.

All I could imagine during the session was a data viz of millions of little dots flowing from Africa to the Americas; then the dots growing and multiplying along the north- and southeast; then the South; then the Great Migration North (and the smaller one westward); and now...the unknown streams of Black folks *away* from America...back to Africa?

We talked about the burden of legacy that exists in Black families (usually in the form of the one family member who has been assigned that role of legacy keeper). I wear that double legacy in my family: enslavement on one side, colonialism and migration on the other.

All this on my birthday.
