Any of my students here, remember that awesome responsibility we have as media makers I keep banging on about?
"Power is controlling what happens, but real power is controlling what people think about what happens." @caitoz.bsky.social

@caitoz.bsky.social I was reminded of Steve Biko's words today when discussing Aaron Bushnell and Navalny.
"It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die."

@caitoz.bsky.social says this shit with her whole chest! My god! We need more of this on the left; the level of absolute clarity every time we speak.
Im gonna go ahead and try to memorize this for later. Suggest you do the same (also follow her wherever it helps her get paid).
C/p from Xitter.

Poignant and powerful, it really doesn't get any stronger than this.
Initially, when I heard of Aaron's actions it broke my heart-but @caitoz.bsky.social is on point here saying that this should light a fire, in all of us, a fire that drives & motivates us. X
