“First they came for the trade unionists, and I spoke out forcefully, because that is unacceptable.”

“Elie Wiesel: “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

2018:
“... the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the ... Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”
If it’s so corrosive to society for the New Yorker to not signal boost neo-Nazis, how did we survive this long without it? How how how.
The New Yorker has for decades been a massively influential arbiter of the public discourse, and it’s beyond disingenuous to suggest that they haven’t already been making decisions all along about who doesn’t who doesn’t get heard.

The President of the United States has spent his entire public life, which is now in its 5th decade, habitually and repeatedly making provably untrue statements.

That fact is so important that it should accompany any mention of him in news media.
Yes, all or at least most other politicians have lied. I don't think we've ever had a president whose entire public life has been defined not just by specific lies, but by lying.

Lying as strategy.

Lying as lifestyle.

Lying for the sake of lying.

It's relevant.
There should be no mention of his name without the accompanying context.

"Donald Trump (who has told proveable untruths his entire life, and repeats them after they're proved false), addressed the nation today."

Absent the parenthetical, the whole story isn't told.

Seriously can’t stop laughing at this.
It’s not just how stupid it is it’s how smart he thinks it is.

I will keep sending warnings to Bourdillon for the sake of the Yoruba race. How Tinubu and @ProfOsinbajo do not see this trap being set by @MBuhari and oligarchs still beats me. The Yoruba people are dumbing up everyday. No matter what Buhari does, they see no wrong.
This trend is dangerous. A mind cocooned is a mind easy to control. Once yorubas supporting Buhari believe, he can do no wrong, it doesn’t cost Buhari and his oligarchs anything to turn on anybody and I mean anybody. How Tinubu and @ProfOsinbajo do not see this beats me.
Today, it is @adeyanjudeji , Segun Onibiyo and Journalists, tomorrow, it maybe Obasanjo and tell me, once Obasanjo has demystified, what does it take to shame and demystify a Tinubu And @ProfOsinbajo ?

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out. Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out.
Because I was not a trade unionist.
“They they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one leftto speak for me.” Martin Niemöller's

We are ALL better then this.
We must work together to push back & condemn the hate.

The Phrase "an eye for an eye" wasn't invented to not be used. Even at this day an age, there are people who very much believe and use this phrase to do exactly what it says... An eye, for an eye.

For some of you who don't know what this saying means, well we can do this both ways, that is, yo take u to the bible scripture that talks about the origin of thus saying, or I could briefly explain it to you in my own words. Okay, no . I'm choosing to go the bible route.
According to Bible scripture,the meaning of "Eye for an Eye" is that a person who has been injured by another person must return the offending action to the originator. In simple words,it means Revenge.And y'all know what they say about revenge,its a bitch so I've heard 😂😂...

When Neutrality Helps The Victim
`“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” – Elie Wiesel
However, I argue that political neutrality actually helps the victim, rather than the oppressor. Thread
The favourite quote of those that insist that everyone in Nigeria must be politically partisan is often used to denigrate those that refuse to be drawn into the current political milieu in Nigeria, and to paint them as unconscionable, irresponsible and unpatriotic.
This unfair labelling is the action of oppressors & tormentors. The politics that we practice in Nigeria is not based on ideology, principles or manifestos. Manifestos are often crafted by political strategists for the sole purpose of winning elections. Candidates have zero input
