feeling grateful for my peers. in the past 4 yrs a lot of names have been added in my mind to the "won't let the worst happen here" list. i want to say a few word about it
i feel like i can finally admit that the people who actually matter--not according to a political assessment imitated from a more popular account, but to myself--are savvy and willing to do what it takes.
admitting this feels better than if bernie had won. i'm not kidding.

i don't care what passes for expedient or righteous on this point. i'm talking about finally feeling safe. i've thought about it a lot, especially wrt police abolition, protesting.

we have to talk about what happened at chapman.
i think im capable of acknowledging these things now having seen that the people who actually do things are the same people, doing the same things. at our dog shit university it was the same people, doing the same things.

the fragments they were using to make that place better are what of anything bore revolutionary fruit this year.
if they were unsuccessful then, it was bc the rest of us, myself included, still had our excuses to sit out or call shots from the peanut gallery. 2020 was the year every excuse evaporated at the same time.
this is why i'm proud of us. we came together finally.

it also hurts my heart to realize bc back then those people were not taken care of at all after those fights. have not been, as they should have, encouraged in leadership roles for this moment now.
i know for many the experience was so bad they can't bear to participate now.

these fuckups are becoming matters of life and death as we get older
here's the deal
i really believe in us. i mean the 50 or so people that we all know in common and did stuff this year. and what i need to say is that we have to fucking protect each other. we can't let what happened at school happen again.

so i believe you when you say biden won't save me. and i believe that you know what's prudent and just. no ones gonna save us but us, yes. does this still fill you with despair?
what's all this for if not because we know we're enough.
