If this ain’t the energy you’re coming at:

•Anti-Blackness
•Stolen land
•Asian hate crime
•Deportations
•Kids in cages
•US imperialism
•Islamaphobia
•Anti-Semitism

Then I don’t want it.

If you can’t see how all these movements are connected & how every attack on one of us is an attack on us all, then I can’t help you. It’s only unity for me.
