People will talk about many things in the next days, like whether or not the Republicans changed or just saw the power shift, though we have known them for who they are and in the absence of repentance and repair we will remember. And more people will talk about how our government, designed for (theoretical) stability, can increase both stability and liberation.
We should be clear what the work is before us: liberation. Many other people will be worried about and working on stability. But stability alone is always built upon the broken bodies of marginalized and oppressed people functioning as the foundation for what is above, providing the mere appearance of stability.
We can’t permit that to continue. We must all get free, together. So let others tend to stability, as we answer the call to work for liberation.

Thank you for these words, CB, this call to action. Today has been very healing and invigorating for what comes next.
