A gentle reminder that White people and their ability to “mute political words you don’t like” and “ignore all things related to politics” is a facet of White terrorism/privilege, and the ability to turn your head the other way when your parents vote for a nazi — in the face of fascism —is the reason why America is falling in the first place.
Black, trans and indigenous don’t get to mute anything. We don’t get to protect our mental health. We have to deal the consequences of your delusions.
