What a lovely piece. Thank you for sharing! I’ve been thinking a lot about a quote (I think from a Palestinian activist) that was framed by a Minnesotan activist. The Minnesotan relayed the chemicals deployed against protestors here stung their skin in a very unique way, and the Palestinian activist said something like, “yes, those are the same ones they use on us.” The violence is so pervasive and overwhelming and related, knit from the same cloth.

oof. thanks for your note. i remember a therapist who said "your relationship to one thing is your relationship to everything," and the patterns could not be more clear.
