!["All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing." 😢
•••
I'm so sickened this past week with the sheer hatred and violence that has been displayed across the world. First, in Charlottesville, with a group of literal Nazis marching through American streets and killing innocent people with no repercussions. Now today in Barcelona, only a few blocks from where I stayed less than a month ago on Las Ramblas, a terrorist plowed into the busy street and killed numerous victims, injuring many more. But as Timothy Snyder says in his book On Tyranny, "[We must] be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of political practices...the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it." In other words, we cannot allow fear to force us to give in to hatred. Stay vigilant, be active, speak up. This is no time for passivity and there is no room for a middle ground. 💔](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52fb03b6e4b0b986206400a1/59948e6ce3df28d4b7fac499/59962c6c3045447b5ff4d5c8/1503014016213/)
