The ‘violence of organized forgetting’ is such a powerful phrase with so much relevance. I had never heard the term. I look forward to investigating it more. The torturing amnesia line came to me from my online conversations with a white supremacist mentioned in one of my other stories. We chat every day and it is a torturing amnesia and a willful ignorance on his part. And the incuriosity is disturbing. But this phrase you shared is so rich and appropriate. Thank you!!! And yes, this piece is packed, it was impossible for me to focus on one part of trump’s tweet. I was just so angry and all over the place.
