   @thomasfuchs it extends so much farther back too. Brutalizing peaceful protesters and tragic, unnecessary conflict as some of the most American qualities :((

     @thomasfuchs

     I am so sorry for anyone who’s lost someone in this horrid conflict.

     I am also having deja vu to the aftermath of 9/11.

     I was a teenager, and I remember how the government exploited my empathy for the victims and their trauma and fear, so they could start 2 wars.

     It feels similar again. Again, some politicians and some media outlets are telling me that some civilians are worth less than others. And by extensions, that some of the people I know are less than others.
