Because it apparently bears repetition:

You do not make fun of people for things like their weight, height, voice, baldness, ancestry, etc.

Even if they are horrible people. That is not a get out of jail free card.

Pick something else. Preferably in the actions or thoughts zone.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

H.S. students at Phillip O. Berry Academy walked out in protest, carrying signs like “No one is illegal on stolen land” & “I’ll take my horchata warm cause ICE sucks.” While masked agents stormed Charlotte & arrested 200, these kids showed more courage than the entire operation.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

What does the uptick in censorship & book bans mean for authors today? “The Knife and the Butterfly” author Ashley Hope Pérez says, “the biggest obstacle...the temptation to shrink or constrain the range of experiences authors explore in the hope of not being banned.” #VelshiBannedBookClub
Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘The Knife and the Butterfly’ by Ashley Hope Pérez
‘The Knife and the Butterfly’, by veteran member of the Velshi Banned Book Club Ashley Hope Pérez, is a salient reminder of just how much a novel can create and foster empathy. “The Knife and the Butterfly” tells the story of two teenagers, members of rival gangs, and the single act of violence that connects them forever. Pérez says, “...literature is always working to support readers in encountering and navigating the whole range of human experiences.”

I feel like we need talk about the militarization of the police that has happened over decades (or longer), the histories of how police forces formed in various communities and their founding purposes, and how involving the police often escalates instead of deescalates.
