I’m so glad I grew up on This Land Is My Land, This Land Is Your Land grade school globalism. I see how terrifying the world is for people who are incapable of compassion and I just feel so lucky I was surrounded by so much diversity

Somebody LITERALLY said “well Green Day will be performing too to kind of even it out.”
