Lovable and on point as always :) Love this series so much! Thank you, Dickens!
I really hope that we’ll see some change – if there’s ever been a time for it, it’s now.
Unfortunately it would require deep systemic changes and I don’t see that happening. Such changes would potentially help so many people, marginalized groups and possibly even the environment. But I fear that too many (white) people are so afraid of any change that they’d rather cling to this dystopia with every thread of their existence -.-
But hey – maybe we get a least to a point where the police in the US becomes an actual police force again (instead of a para-military organization terrorizing and shooting civilians)…
