I'm taking it for granted he was murdered, and if he was murdered it makes me feel a million times more powerless than I already did, and I've felt pretty damn powerless since 2012 when I first learned about systemic oppression and insidious ways in which bigotry and exploitation are coded into law.

I think a tiny part of me thought that even though people have been murdered in my country for speaking truth to power that it couldn't happen in the US, and the fact that I could be so damn naive is making me feel some type of way.

How does one go through life knowing that nothing we do will apparently change anything about the way our society is structured?
