Just hoping the next viral trend is empathy, critical thinking skills, media literacy, accountability, and shutting up when you don't know what you're talking about.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

The problem is not that we don't have the money for things like school lunches or universal healthcare.

The problem is we don't have the humanity to prioritize those over things like murdering people in Gaza.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
