I grew up in an era where adults would smugly tell kids “Don’t believe everything you hear on TV”

My mom doesn't believe Tiananmen Square Massacre happened, but still believe random bullshit from wechat like "Democrats rUiNiNg NYC"... "mIgRaNt cRiSiS" even tho we are (legal) immigrants and probably get lumped together in the eyes of the far right.

Also, "antidepressants don't work" and I just need to "go outside"... outside where ICE is swarming the streets and we're aren't white. Thanks mom, very helpful... 🙃
