My book launch is today & I just feel like crying. Writing a book like this about the unacknowledged grief defining our country & the hate slathered over the top of the real & awful story overrides celebration.

Ruha Benjamin helps so much: “Moving forward…requires remembering who we are.” I say to do that we have to see and peel away the lies of white supremacy, tied to the gun as a symbol of forcing white dreams of conquest & control. #cowboyapocalypse

Read Ruha Benjamin’s Imagination: “Nationalism produces, and relies upon ‘imagined communities’ whose allure is exceptionalism, righteousness, and superiority.” I show how this toxic American myth developed in #cowboyapocalypse, written mostly for white people to wake up.
