- Reposted by Nadia HalimI keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

- Reposted by Nadia HalimYesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
