Look into your babies eyes and tell me,
tell me you are not going to do everything in your power to make sure they have
a future that doesn’t involve living in fucking consumer barracks, living in
the capitalist trenches of the cities fucking being mindless zombies living in
fucking boxes and buying fucking boxes and throwing fucking boxes away and then
ending up in a box and it all meant nothing and that’s the legacy.  To me the legacy is freedom.  The legacy is liberation.  And maybe there will be blood shed, more than
already has been, and maybe that blood will be mine, but if there’s a future
worth having then it is worth it to me.

I never think of the land as a separate
being from myself.  It’s part of who I
am. My ancestors bled for the land,
their bones are in the land, their ashes are in the land and in the water.

-Queen Sacheen

When war is happening every day to our people, when
war is happening every day to our fucking psyches and our minds, through social
media, and resource extraction, through neo-colonialism, through our elected
leaders signing papers with corporations these are acts of war.  So everyday when I am praying in the morning
and praying when I go to bed I am praying to be strong enough to fight that
war.
