“We can’t stop speaking out, we can’t stop fighting and we can’t lose hope. If we lose hope, that’s the end of it.” -Jeremy Lin There is something insidious about hate & gun violence. Something that makes me angry and immensely sad at the thought about it. theguardian.com/sport/2021/mar…
It is something that we must war to overcome. That something is apathy. It's how d*mn accustomed we come to experiencing it. To my shame, this hasn't really resonated or hit me in the way that it should.

Thread: Last month House Reps made a big deal about standing against hate. Now they sit silent about this vile and dangerous attack leveled at Rep. Ilhan Omar. Trump linking her to 9/11 only sends one message. Denouncing hate is for moments like this.

Let's set the landscape: According to @FBI, hate crime incidents surged 17% in 2017, the most recent year of available data. This was the greatest & 1st successive 3-yr increase since post-9/11 backlash against Arab American, American Muslim, & South Asian American communities.
Contributing to this surge was a 37% increase of Anti-Jewish hate crime, an overwhelming number of Anti-Black or African American hate crime, a 100% increase of Anti-Arab hate crime, and Anti-Muslim hate crime numbers remaining well above historical averages.
