1/3 – I’ve known Jussie since he was 10 years old, and a man of @JussieSmollett’s talent, intellect and kindness should be an undisputed blessing to our community. My heart is hurting knowing that he’s suffering…and for what? Just for being?

2/3 – The fact his presence on this earth would be perceived as a threat to anyone only shows the magnitude of their fear and confusion. I pray that our country learns to heal, that we may see each other for WHO we are and nothing more. We gotta find the LOVE yawl!

I feel like I shouldn’t have to send out reminders that homophobia & racism are cowardly acts. But yet here we are in Maga Hell. I’m at a loss for words at all of this. Stunned that I’m still surprised this can still happen and keeps happening (and has never stopped happening). I’m trying hard to not make this “thoughts and prayers” meaningless like most posts about things of this nature. I wrote 10 paragraphs and erased em all & turned off the comments. Really angry about this fuckery.

An attempted lynching in 2019. Where’s the “get over it, it’s in the past” crowd now? This is absolutely disgusting and it’s a reality. Justice for #JussieSmollett I’m sick.

Actor, singer, and activist #JussieSmollett was attacked in Chicago early this morning by two people who yelled racial and homophobic slurs. The attackers also wrapped a rope around his neck and poured an “unknown chemical substance” on him. https://t.co/mAhzH0X93j
