If you're not #queer, or #disabled, or #BIPOC, or #poor, you will be fine over the next four years. This means your #perspective of the situation and its #danger is extremely limited. You are not in a position to #lead or #strategize for #resistance. You need to #follow the lead of #people who do know the stakes directly. And you need to take on as much of the #burden of resistance yourself as possible, taking it off the backs of #vulnerable people.

“This is the place where they deposit us as if we were #useless, #expired, not being able to offer anything to society,” Anita told me of her life at La Merced. “We live in this institution devoid of #connection, #hope, and #support.
