    I know it doesn’t help, but the brain worm is real. I tried this last week. People are angry and I get that, my family is bipoc and our “friends” in Texas talk about reporting all the illegals they “see”. I’m furious, but that doesn’t make truth subjective. I don’t know why anyone thinks pretending that the fucking hill has anything to do with a fucking opinion piece. I don’t know why anyone thinks that platforming trash like this was intended to do anything less than generate buzz. I don’t know why people think that lending credence to that buzz has any measurable effect in any meaningful way beyond licking their metaphorical wounds. I don’t know why people believe that over-sensationalizing a best case semantic shit show is anything but playing into what the right views as stereotypical leftist tropes.

    Shit like this… Just embarrassing
