Now I am being silenced by the Washington Post for -- *checks notes* Lamenting America's acceptance of apathy towards political violence and gun deaths-- especially when the violence is encouraged and carried out by white men.

I have always believed in using the pen to remember the forgotten, question power, shine light in darkness, and defend democracy. I've always believed in using the pen to help people in need, and to assist the most marginalized. I've never strayed from these values.
