This is what kills me. If Esther Ghey wants to talk about the dangers of kids being online too much, she can talk about radicalization, about bigotry, about the dehumanizing ideas of trans people Brianna's killers were exposed to.
She doesn't, she talks exclusively about Brianna's social media use.

COVID was/is the beginning of the American genocide on poor and disabled people, the genocide in Palestine is the one we do abroad and both times people were prioritizing their “mental health” over people’s LIVES. Now, the politicians you were cheering in the street for, are doing the same to us.
