If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

We don't get to "agree to disagree" on racism, homophobia, transmisogyny, or genocide, and we must not be pulled into "debate" on these things. We should speak out against them. We should mobilize against them. But we absolutely cannot normalize these things by "debating" them. We must reject them.
