Is The Squad dead? Cori Bush on the future of progressive politics

And then we need to also celebrate the fact that, yes, Cori Bush was the very first black woman to ever go to Congress from the state of Missouri in the United States history. That is something to be celebrated and it's something to be pissed off about that it took this long to get the first one. So we shouldn't push it aside.

We should we should be able to say, you know what, we made a mistake here. So I'm not getting rid of identity politics, but I'm not just pushing up people because of what they look like and because of what they believe. I'm not doing that either.

You know, change doesn't come easy and change may not happen overnight. But one way that change does not happen is when we stop. It's OK to get to feel discouraged, you know, on a Tuesday.

I understand feeling disillusioned. And I'll say this as someone who just, you know, who lost her race built upon and based upon lies. I get it. But. My kids have to live.

I have four beautiful kids and a grandson. They have to live in this world, this legacy that will be left to them. You know, my dad, my mom, my family, you know, my friends, I have to do the work because it's in me. I have to do the work to make sure that I can build for them. So I don't care who the president or the administration is. I don't care who the mayor is.

I don't care, you know, who the dog catcher is. I'm going to do the work for my community. And so for those that feel that movement has not done enough, well, then join movement. Help us to do better. We work better together than we do apart fighting one another. And where we can't make the change we want, then we work to mitigate the harm.
