What "shared human condition" means for me is that every one of you is my sister or brother and if I were born into your body or you into mine we'd face the same dilemmas and feel the same pain. Daring to put yourself in another's shoes is daring to get closer to your humanness.
Everybody assumes that time travel would be easy: you press a button and you're immediately transported to another time. But why, given everything we know about the travel industry?
Time travel, a thread:
On this day in 1987 Sardasht in Iranian Kurdistan got heavily attacked with chemicals. This part of the genocide on Kurds is barely ever mentioned or remembered. Half my family was there. Relatives and friends are forever wounded.
So I was talking with my mom about #DefundThePolice. And she asked me a question: how could what happened to Rayshard Brooks happen, at this moment, in this uprising? How could police keep...doing this?
So this is what I said.
