Miriam, your words fuel the fire we refuse to let burn out. They want us isolated and drowning in despair, but we see the game. We expected this. Their tricks don't fool us, and we are not backing down.

They want us weak? We will nourish ourselves. They want us exhausted? We will rest and rise stronger. They want us numb? We will feel profoundly and unapologetically. They want us silent? We will create, speak, write, and sing, flooding the world with voices too loud to ignore.

Interdependence is our power. Community is our weapon. Solidarity is our battle cry.

We have generations of resistance behind us, and a future worth fighting for. The cracks in their system are showing. Let’s keep widening themβ€”until the whole damn thing crumbles.

The world we are building will be glorious. πŸ”₯

I LOVE your battle cry, Christina! Yes, the cracks are showing already, and they are widening every day. No tyrant can win against people united. We got this!

Yes to everything, especially no. 6.

And agreed we must not be surprised, I’m not. It was so obvious what’s coming.

Sadly, yes. Too many people are in for a hard lesson - I wish it wouldn't have to be that way, yet here we are.

You're welcome, Julie πŸ’œ

I feel like we're all taking turns giving and taking hope and help, depending on our own mental state and energy levels. We'll get through this together, because they WILL self-destruct and fall. All oppressive systems eventually do.
