It was healing to respond to the grant reviewer who said I couldn't have dismantling racism as an objective because it was not possible: "My families and communities are dying from systemic racism. I have to make it possible to dismantle systemic racism. It's a matter of life and death for us."

Everything about how we exist in society is a political choice. Continuing to allow people to be unhoused is a political choice. Unchecked grocery prices? A political choice. Potholes - political choice. Yeah, things must be weighed etc etc, but these are choices and we can demand better ones.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.
