Don't be afraid to speak out against tyranny. Be more afraid of what the future will be if you don't speak out.

Right-wing fanatics who are anti-immigration have found it convenient to forget that it was they who invaded whole countries and made life so miserable for natives that they decided to search for greener pastures.

Those who think subservience will appease tyrants forget that it will only encourage their tyranny even more. Offer them a hand in friendship, and they will devour your entire body and soul.

A government focused on vengeance and revenge is not a government that is expected to care for its people.

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

I think it's important to write about how and why we make art because like... humans need to make art, and they need to experience it. It's a way of the human brain processing reality; without enough of it, you go fuckin nuts. So if we can help people make good art, we can offer some nourishment.

"Wokeism" is the source of our world's economic problems, say the people who has never known what it's like to live paycheck by paycheck, cent by cent, and who never have to worry about survival.
