Just realizing how much the post-9/11 anti-Muslim rhetoric has affected me. I've been harboring anger, resentment and sorrow—and rightfully so, but I want to let it go. But idk how when the world keeps attacking my people. Anyone else relate?
Never forget
The 2977 people that died on September 11, 2001…
AND
The ~46,319 Afghans civilians that were killed as a result of US’s war in Afghanistan.
The ~33,000 Pakistani civilians that were killed as a result of the “War on Terror.”
The 1.8 million Uyghur Muslims detained within internment camps in China.
The thousands of Indian Muslims killed in riots, lynching and dozens of unreported attacks.
The 2,461 US soldiers that were killed between 2001 and 2021 in Afghanistan.
Since 9/11, at least 4.5 million people have died in U.S. war zones in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere due to the direct and reverberating impacts of war. https://t.co/eGTHvwGKQF

How do these people get away with saying such things?
The root issue in American politics isn't Biden or Trump; it's the two-party system of Democrats and Republicans that fosters polarization by promoting differences and using deception to keep us divided.
