Quote by Shellen Lubin

“Doesn't it feel like that? Like a chronic illness? Like every day you wake up and it's the same oppressive regime trying to go back to a truly savage time when only white male royalty and gentry were seen as people, as worthy of recognition and representation? Look at them, trying to change the laws, trying to placate a madman king, weaponizing against us not just the justice system, but the entire government, abusing it, bleeding it dry, weaponizing the government against itself. Like a curse. I'll name it. CURS: Chronic Under-Representation Syndrome. The curse this country was ostensibly founded to get beyond, the curse our forefathers came here to get away from, the curse of which so many have tried with marches and movements and music and more to break the spell. We must break the spell.”
