In death we should treat Lindsey Graham with the same respect he gave to millions of people in the Middle East whose death he fervently advocated for — and that of course is none at all.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Is America truly free if police routinely harass and murder people of color for simply existing in public spaces? Are we free to pursue happiness if millions of people are one missed paycheck or hospital visit away from homelessness? Liberty and Justice for who?

One day Belgium will pay for their crimes
