“Oftentimes people say, well, if it takes that long, I’ll be dead. So what? Everybody dies, right? […] we have to learn how to imagine the future in terms that are not restricted to our own lifetimes.”
“Incidentally, if you are a white man, you don’t necessarily have to identify with that collective “white men” about which I am speaking.”

“Most importantly if the intersectionality of struggles against racism, homophobia, and transphobia is minimized, we will never achieve significant victories in our fight for justice.”
“[…] we [will] have to rewrite the whole category, rather than simply assimilate more women in to an unchanged category of what counts as “women”.”

LOVE to see Davis including trans women in her feminism.
In the true nature of intersectionality, Davis mentions multiple groups, struggles, and movements before coming back to Palestine. So, just one quote for thought:
"Before Palestinians are even arrested, they are already in prison. [...] one can be transferred from an open-air prison to a closed prison."

Reading just now, at the end of 2025, about the need to bring global awareness to the conflict in Palestine from a 2014 interview with Davis truly makes me feel like I've been asleep this whole time. 2026 might just have to be my year of nonfiction.
