“Ultimately, there's no path towards police abolition—or even police reform—that doesn't involve a reckoning with police unions as the central bastion of police power. Not only are the police the enemies of workers and people of color, but from their very origin they have been synonymous with a racialized division of the working class that has always forestalled progress, much less revolution. Police unions today remain faithful to those origins into that history of betrayal.”

“I do so much writing. But so much of it never goes anywhere, never sees any light of day. I suppose that's like gardening in the basement. I don't publish so much of what I write. I just seem to plow it back into the soil of what I write after it, rewriting and rewriting, thinking that somehow it gets better after the fifty-second-time around. I need to learn to abandon my writing. To let go of it. Dispose of it, like tissue.”
