“Sometimes people say, you know, you’re 78, all that stuff, and you’ve been doing this for a long time — But should I be quitting now? When you look out and you talk to these beautiful, beautiful young people who want to move this country forward in such a decent, humane way, it really does inspire me. And to the degree that I have gotten those folks involved in the political process, yeah, I am very proud of that. I don’t know that I’ve ever done anything in my life more important than that.”

It does feel like we are in the accelerationist timeline. We just have to be ready to capitalize on those moments to show people things don’t have to be this way. If America were to collapse into revolution today I’m not sure we’d end up with a left movement in power. We’ve come so far since the tail end of the Obama years though and as you say the BLM protests have been an encouraging sign.
