(4/6) And that means you can't get /angry/ at someone like DeSantis. Because angry people are not nice. Nice is good. Angry is bad. Angry people disturb the peace. Nice people maintain the peace.

Maintain the peace even as unarmed Black bodies fall to racist violence, year after year after year. Maintain the peace as transgender people fear that if they step outside of their homes as their authentic selves in the morning that they might not come back home that night. Maintain peace as immigrants along our borders are cut and killed by razor discs hiding in the water.

The anger of the oppressed serves a very important purpose—change. It is the anger of life. Of self-preservation.
