The language that we use has a significant impact on how we think, feel, and interact with the world around us. Words matter.

Don't say president, say dictator. Don't say administration, say regime. Don't say MAGA, say fascists. Don't say ICE, say Gestapo. Don't say detention facilities, say concentration camps. Don't say detainee, say prisoner. Don't say injustices, say torture. Don't say big beautiful bill, say Trump tax, Don't say police state, say undue suffering, Don't say slave labor, say deaths. * Heather Emerson

Truth is often painful. It can also be terrifying. Sometimes truth can light a fire under your ass to get you moving. It’s time we get moving. Together.

Democrats allow republicans to control the talking points. Different topic but the same problem regarding women’s rights. If we say women deserve “BODILY AUTONOMY” it clears the way for women to regain control of their bodies. Republicans LOVE to talk about abortion. Don’t fall into that trap.

We don't need to call it Alligator anything. FFS. We're gotdamn adults, we can call it what it is, a concentration camp. Fuck these "cutesy" terms. We are witnessing another genocide. Use your big kid words. Jesus wept.

Someone who identified as Jewish on this app admonished people for calling them concentration camps. Nothing is comparable to the Holocaust. But this Chicana sees a coming genocide.

I will use the appropriate terminology. If they’re concentrating a particular population into a small area, that’s a concentration camp.

🫶🏻 This is for certain the beginning of the end for so many folx, perhaps even mayonaited gals like me. Dark times, getting darker. I just would love if everyone would call these events and buildings and et cetera the horrors that they are. 🙏🏼❤️

Don't say MAGA, say Republicans. They are the ones responsible for this anarchy and they are ones on the ballot in 2026. You won't see a MAGA party listed there. Demonize the word Republican.
