Omar El Akkad
“Anything to avoid contending with the possibility that all this killing wasn’t the result of a system abused, but a system functioning exactly as intended.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Elisabeth Wheatley
“It's obviously not impossible, because it's happening...”
Elisabeth Wheatley

Margaret Atwood
“Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Omar El Akkad
“But the word “radicalize” feels wrong, seems to imply an element of extremism, as though rage at this kind of blatant hypocrisy is the abnormal thing, when what is plainly abnormal is to accept it.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

Omar El Akkad
“A political system that won’t restrict firearms even after a shooter massacres classrooms full of children, a system that shrugs when a regime murders and dismembers a journalist because that regime controls an inordinate amount of oil, a system that won’t flinch at the images of starving babies when it has the power to save their lives—what manner of resistance can’t such a system learn to abide? What use is any of it, what use?”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
