"Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act.
Democracy doesn't defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance & courage from ordinary people."

$NEVER AGAIN Overwhelmed by a world That will not hear the cries That twists the truth That lies That gaslights and denies Enables genocide In self-defence disguise Labelling us terrorists It is they who terrorise Demonise / dehumanise Deem us extremists and equate Pleas for peace as cries of hate So much projection and distraction Orwellian refractions To make us feel That it is we Who have lost our minds We who daily bare witness To manifold horrors Enacted without shame The perpetrators / traitors Act the victim as they blame Those of us just crying out; "Please, not in our name" all that we are saying is; "Never again means never again"$ Nothing.

Seven years ago I made the only tweet of mine that went viral, with almost a thousand retweets and two-thousand-four-hundred likes. It brought all the trolls out of hiding where they used the word "woke" against me as an insult which was the first time I'd heard it used that way.
