too many of you are anti-cop but pro-government. too many of you are anti-Trump but pro-Obama. too many of you are anti-racist but pro-capitalism. too many of you are “pro-black” but anti-fat/queer/woman/trans.
if we are going to begin political organizing and violent direct action, it can only be sustainable if we are committed to ending this world through collective uprising and a huge factor in the maligning of collective uprising is unaddressed intramural power asymmetries.
that means you can not organize with me in any sustained way and also believe that black trans folks are secondary on the agenda or disavow the way that disabled black folk and black fat folk have increased contact with the state-sanctioned violence.
let’s politically arm ourselves *as* we violently arm ourselves because although words will not do what war will, war can only be won through a concerted mission.
this is the opportunity to clarify what exactly you understand the mission of global black liberation to be.
if the liberation of all black people is the mission, then you must know that everything must go—America, capitalism, the police, the judge, and jury: all of it.

every time you are fatphobic or ableist or transmisogynoiristic you rebuild a system of antiblackness that must go.
