Do we still have to care about human rights now that Human Rights Day is over?

Happy International Human Rights Day! (It was December 10 — we missed it because there’s nothing “human” about human rights anymore, it seems).

Meanwhile, I’m choking on my own sarcasm. The irony of “Human Rights Day” is killing us. Yes, it’s literally actually physically killing us.

What did I expect, after decades in service of an ideal we’ve never been able to attain. Maybe I’ve been naive?

And now living in a country that is the world’s loudest human rights finger-pointer (growing fat on stolen land). Maybe I should have managed my expectations?
