A new watchword

“If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.” That was a quote from the mother of Heather Heyer, the young woman killed in the Charlottesville riot. It could as well have been applied to any number of events of the past 150 years, but it took an impromptu performance by Donald Trump, in which he declared his support for advocates of white supremacy, to bring it front and center once again. Now we have a new universal watchword: “Pay attention to what’s going on, and let your outrage be known”.
