STOP telling people how to feel. STOP telling people how to mourn. STOP telling people how to phrase their angst. STOP telling people how to process THEIR trauma!!
We’re ALL hurt. We’re ALL frustrated. Some of us are bewildered, even defeated. Some of us are vocal, some silently processing. Some possess admirable might, some are plain terrified. But the LAST thing we need is to turn on each other. We gotta remember we’re on the same side!
This part of the quote especially: “Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.” America will spend the money to pit military equipment against its citizens but won't do enough to invest in actual justice that will bring real peace.
