    You’re probably on the right track.

    When there’s a robust civil society, i think the sesame street shit can actually work. When you’re negotiating with peers, or at least people who see you as people, you can get a lot done that way. When you have institutions that aren’t just hollow boot licking contrivances of power they could be worth something.

    It’s not that it isnt ever effective, it’s that its for a world that takes maintenance against entrenched inequality, a world we absolutely have not lived in for decades.

    You’re probably gonna save a lot of queers when they come for us. Maybe add to your cirriculum a quick conflict assessment of places you spend your time; just a few sentences and some encouragement could cut seconds of hesitation when ICE comes calling. Sorry if this is dumb; im not a tactical genius.

    Wish i had literally any advice on being more proactive. Guess it’d just be deleted if i did. I hate that they can talk in public about killing us, but we cannot talk openly about even defense.
