"Many of us like to ask ourselves: what would I do if I had been alive during slavery, or the Jim Crow South, what would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is you're doing it now"
February 25th marked two years since Aaron Bushnell took his life trying to stop the genocide in Palestine. I didn’t mark the date online because I was in a studio recording a passage of The Overseer Class about him. Here’s a short excerpt (warning: graphic language)
