Never again means now.

I've been using the word camps because that is indeed where we are, and will further go if this isn't stopped. We need to be real about where we are right now. Mincing words for comfort isn't going to help us get out of this.

100% agreed

It’s extremely important to address the reality of things going on (and while America and Trump and Musk are on my mind, it’s important to pay attention to what’s happening elsewhere as well).

I know I’m not being specific here on what words or phrases I mean, but that’s because I don’t have specific ones in mind right now other than the example I gave of concentration camps. That’s partly because I don’t know precisely which labels were going to need.

(Also, tbh, fighting generational trauma while also working to face it all as head on as I possibly can, but between that, insomnia, MS, & long Covid I frequently struggle to find the specific words I need rn. So please be patient when I’m fumbling for words more than I used to.)
