Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl’s face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation
Wow, what powerful words created by a team of writers describing something make-believe that never happened. So inspiring.
“There once was a boy who felt sad about all the awful things in the world, but then he said “Stop it world! Be good instead!” and the world listened and became good and everyone lived happily ever after!”
There, doesn’t that help? Whenever you are overwhelmed with our dying planet, rampant corruption, and the enshittification of society as a whole; just remember my story! If you’re a child, you might just be able to convince yourself it’s really real and matters.
Yelling at people on the internet is totally more effective. You’re right, my bad. I’ll start yelling at people too, instead of using fiction to inspire people.
“There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy.
There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us.
We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.
The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep.
It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late.
But I’ll tell you this… If I could do it again, I’d wake up early
and be fighting these bastards…
from the start.
Fight the Empire!"

Unprompted, another has noticed the power of fiction. Perhaps there is a reason why we tell stories.
