Hi friends. It& #39;s not a great time. The path forward is unclear. Each day closer to election brings more uncertainty to the future, not less. We are all exhausted from these protests and heartsick that we& #39;ve been stonewalled on actual change

Helplessness is a horrible feeling

One way to overcome helplessness is to transmute it into rage. This can actually be real productive, but the target is important

There& #39;s a teeny bit of a tendency on the Left sometimes to turn that rage on those next to us, for not doing enough or maliciously doing it wrong

I& #39;m not saying internal criticism is bad or that there aren& #39;t problems in here, of course there are.

Just: ask yourself if the person you& #39;re furious at is the problem or if it just feels better to be angry at someone you can see than a system completely indifferent to your pain

We are all trapped in a system we did not create that is choking the life out of us. Some people are choked way harder than others

No one on the left wants this shit, that& #39;s why we& #39;re here

None of us knows exactly how to fix it, if we did we would have done it already

Heading into whatever November brings , we need community now more than ever

Please consider viewing your comrades as people doing their best and acting accordingly
