What I have a problem with is the "don't look away" thing.

Like: have you, person begging everyone to pour more trauma into their eyeballs, reckoned with what difference it will make if people pour yet another one in there?

Oooooh.

If he's 13, he's not in the 5th grade. But it doesn't matter.
If ICE is now saying that juveniles can be held indefinitely without counsel, on mere accusations, then let her say that.

Yeah, this one really stuck in my head.

Either we're "paid protesters" or they tell us to "get a job."

They all work for the same ruling class...

Oooh, thank you. I haven't read all of these but I highly recommend Waubgeshig Rice's duology.

They'll never need umbrellas in the rain
They'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school they can't forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch...

That's an answer to "why should."

I asked: why would there be any?
