congrats Robin Reynolds Wilt! ur well-deserved victory gives me hope. thank u for standing up for ALL oppressed people, ALL over the world, and for addressing racism not just here at home (in brighton or the US more broadly) but also in other settler colonies such as israel (it\u2019s important to be precise even if vague, feel-good statements about justice and solidarity get more likes).
the prolonged, relentless, and well-organized backlash robin received for saying \u201cfree palestine\u201d only goes to show how deeply our struggles are intertwined. MLK\u2019s famous words that \u201cno one is free until we are all free\u201d are not just a handy aphorism, they contain a practical guide for how to think and fight.
that a woman of color had the audacity and fortitude to live by those words, and face the overwhelming backlash that was bound to come, does not surprise me \u2014 that\u2019s how history has always been made.
