33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.
An 11-year-old who survived the school shooting in Texas went into survival mode and put someone's blood on herself to pretend she was dead. The classmate next to her died and then saved her life. This is the kind of trauma you hear from an active war zone, not a 4th grade class.
If you’re in twitter today vigorously arguing that those carrying nazi and confederate flags on Parliament Hill are only “bad apples” and “not representative” of your cause, it might be worth reflecting on why nazis and racists are so attracted to your cause
