White text on blue: When they shoot me, they will tell you I was violent. They will say I meant them harm, even if I was waving them safely by, even if I smiled and told them I was not angry right before the agent pointed his gun at my face. They will say there was intent in my heart and for that they had to pull the trigger. Will you believe them then, even though you know me? When they shoot me in the face and leave my three children shattered, will you believe I was a threat?

Text from article: •If you find yourself becoming very frightened or angry by a narrative that seems to play on existing biases, such as unexamined racism or misogyny, check your sources; it is very likely that you are being emotionally manipulated into accepting a lie •Question your own biases when something presented without proof “feels” legitimate Write down things that you want to remember; don’t rely on random online sources •Remember when a public figure has made claims in bad faith in the past, and use that as a guide to their present and future behavior
