This is the thing I don't think people understand. The US has been so much worse than this & a lot of people were okay with it because it wasn't hitting their communities. Now it is on deck for everyone. White people better get in the field on the front lines

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I’m stealing this.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
