How the "Revolution" started... and how it's going.

40. Yup

Unfortunately, or fortunately the government changes in steps, policy and procedures. Nationally I almost never vote for a president *aside from Hilary Clinton* I vote for the Supreme Court. I thought people understood this. I thought at least a school rock level understanding of civics was prevalent. I thought wrong.

What I’m doing right now, or not doing, is no longer listening to whiteness when expressed. I am listening to the voices who effect actual change or are trying to effect change because it affects them immediately. It’s not a political debate. It’s not theoretical. It’s life and death.

I have little patience left. I’d rather listen to black activists, especially black feminists or Hispanic, people from the pan-Asian communities, the Native American communities, (anyone other than those who live satisfying lives stewed in the oppression of others)When they make me uncomfy—especially when they make uncomfortable.

I’m following youth. What are they seeing? What are they doing?

What I’m not doing is assuming people understand that basic human rights are not in danger. Even now, I get the feeling that a segment of the population doesn’t understand this.
