I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

This is a very important thread. People are free to curate their feeds how they choose but Alt NPS does not deserve your attention. They frequently steal content without attribution, make up numbers for protest engagement(No Kings #1), and in this case create false narratives to fit their goals.
This one is personal to me.
AltNPS posted, so far only on Facebook, an extended piece of manipulative fanfiction about the recent abduction of a woman at a Chicago daycare center by ICE agents.
The video, which you've likely already seen, is horrific.

It's not always good to be nice.
YES. It’s all about socializing people to tolerate nearby suffering and disparities without creating a ruckus. It is the foundation of white supremacy and it’s not a phenomenon limited to the south. Every white American is groomed this way to varying extents.
