It’s also among the most unfortunate parts of our work at
@TeenVogue: when we give young people a platform, we want to elevate their voices. Sometimes, that means subjecting them to hatred and vitriol.Show this thread
The attacks being lobbied against Emma follow the all-too-familiar patterns: she’s an opinionated woman, she’s Latinx, she is queer. Some say those are strikes already against her when confronting the establishment.pic.twitter.com/O55uzh4qkk

From where we stand, these are even more reasons we have to listen to what she’s saying and continue our unwavering support. These things don’t make her less American — they’re exactly what America does mean, especially to young people.

Just like they’ve smeared protesters during the Movement for Black Lives, as they’ve ridiculed Muslim women, and denied the identities of trans activists, they’ll employ their typical tactics here. But as yesterday’s numbers showed, they won’t win.pic.twitter.com/wQoJdbxW2I

Oh, she’s a special protected minority, so I can’t call her out for her bullshit opinions. I’m so sorry, where do I check my privilege, mastah?

When people talk shit they need to shut up. She wants to take away constitutional rights. I could care less what color, race, gender she is. Liberals have made everything about race, so nobody gives a damn about race anymore. A true post-racial society.

Race doesn’t matter anymore. Nobody is special. You can scream racism and sexism all you want, and nobody in America gives a damn anymore.

When people define themselves by race or sexuality without actually accomplishing anything, we have already failed as a society. I’m just watching everything come crashing down.

Mostly that she's an opinionated woman with a cogent, well articulated argument. They are deathly afraid of her.

This girl,
@Emma4Change, is worth 1000 times more than each of her detractors. They can go back to beating their wives & not paying their child support & keeping their despicable words of hate, divisiveness, and child abuse to themselves.#March4OurLivesThanks.

There is no one with a better perspective, higher platform, and greater heart. We are blessed by her and amazed at her courage.
