Dear Suburban White People in America, Donald Trump is right: you should be very afraid. Though, just not of the people he tells you to fear. I know this year

  I support the protestors, so I am against the police. That’s the lie I hear every single day in America. It’s a myth perpetuated by this President and his

Every day I watch Christians violently attacking God. They fill churches without distancing and without masks. They defy restrictions designed to stop the spread of this virus. They malign the

The President wants schools open in the Fall and he’s threatening to withhold funding to those that refuse—this while several states are seeing record numbers of new cases. This is

Some people haven’t learned anything in four years. One of the most disconcerting trends I see on social media right now, is a continual dissemination of polls, statistics, and trends

White Republican friend, we need to talk. Recently, people all around this nation began waking up to the pervasive inequities and racial disparities and police brutality here, and many for

These Republicans are telling you something right now, America. If you listen carefully, you can hear them. With every panicked and quivering move they are clearly testifying. They are confirming
