Thank you for this. I’m having trouble expressing my rage and anguish. I’m frustrated sitting in my privileged suburban home and wondering how to educate my children about what’s happening and the best way to help and be of service. I’m so angry at the cowardice and bs spewing from Republican leaders and goons who claim to love country and have stolen the image of our flag, but don’t understand its significance. These goons have no idea the bravery, courage and love of country of the folks who died on the island or are taking up arms now in Ukraine. Spewing hatred on Twitter or wearing a gun to intimidate is not bravery. It’s cowardice. I’m in awe of the Ukrainian people. War for an egomaniac…I don’t understand and I’m not sure I want to. Thank you for sharing.

I have read your blog for years and years and enjoyed your content for free and recommended you to all my friends and never put my money behind any of it until I found myself reading your (free) newsletter and crying my eyes out. I am now a subscriber. Please keep writing.

“We have been taught to think of crying as weakness; an embarrassing display of emotion. We were taught wrong. When you see a woman weeping as she watches the news, be warned: She is not sad. She is angry. She is fucking furious.”
