A question I’m asked religiously is what happened? So many people are convinced that in 2020, we were united in a demand for change and because they believe that falsehood, they feel gutted because police budgets continue to increase, copaganda rages on, and relentless attacks on progressive reforms and political candidates persist; and they impute their feelings of defeat to the movement.
This is SO good, thank you Olayemi for writing this article and connecting the dots. I’m constantly learning from you and being more and more motivated to deeply understand the system and work to genuinely shift things for actual liberation.
Powerful, powerful article. Thank you for sharing this, and laying bare the foundation of the issues. I hope some who jumped on the performative bandwagon will read this and ask themselves some deeper questions. I say this already knowing that my hope is probably better spent elsewhere.
Thank you, Olayemi, for putting words to the thoughts and feelings many of us have had in the past 3 years.
As outsider looking in from abroad, keep fighting the good Fight. Liberation is what the goal should be not just BLM but a liberation movement, like the Panthers were trying to be. Each day or each writing here you sound more like a Bahamian 2pac, in the sense of nonstop realness.
One love from over here. Do you have any tips for young adults trying to organize grassroots in Europe? Keep up the writings, they inspire worldwide more people than you can imagine maybe even

As always, I'm mesmerized by your ability to communicate such visceral truths in such an incisive and contemplation-invoking manner. ❤️
