Lookback: Same day

“Blocked dad on Facebook and texted him back”

I stood up for myself against my dad's Islamophobic messages and called him out for spreading misinformation

What I wish I knew
"How to effectively communicate with my dad without escalating the situation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't engage with people who spread hate and misinformation, block them instead"
