This Is Not a Drill

It's the Arc of Empire

On the arc of empires,
We’re on the downhill slide.

And the grifterCons?
They’re colonizing us now.
Same playbook they used on the Global South—
just with better branding…more stuff.

Neofeudalism.
Wrapped in WiFi, AI, and shareholder meetings.

Time to get up on the floor.
Time to remember who we are.

If not now…when?
If not us…who?

We are the ones we used to talk about.
The ones who get up,
not because we’re we’re all that and a can of peas,
but because we’re here.
Alive.
Aware.
Together.

This is the chasm.
This is the shift.

ARE WE STRONG ENOUGH TO SEE OURSELVES IN OTHERS?
ARE WE STRONG ENOUGH TO SHARE…LIKE IT’S NORMAL?
ARE WE STRONG ENOUGH TO LIVE WHAT WE SAY WE BELIEVE?

Waging peace?
You need cast iron balls.
It is not for the faint of heart.

To my white brothers and sisters:
even our lost ones:

Look at the damage.
Look at the greed.
Look inward.

You’ve been played.
We all have. Hard-core.

This is not a drill.

This is the moment.
It's Us,

It's Now,

Make it count.
