Dear Troublemakers, Ummmmmmmmmmm is there any other appropriate greeting other than how are you holding up in this nearly constant state of dangerous contradictions and unjust personal ideologies that just became the law of (much of) the land? As a Black woman, I know I know I know this is nothing new, and still it nearly knocks me over to read and listen to decisions being made, that aren’t that dissimilar to decisions that have been made in our nations history. Decisions to force labor, to force location, to force sterilization. Force. Force. Force.
Thank you for this - I lose hope and stamina when I disconnect - and I am renewed by being with people doing the hard work. Thank you for the reminder of that…
" I needed to be surrounded by smart people who are doing incredible things" - yes proximity - that's the key to doing incredible things and the key to have influence!! We must be in arms length if we're to have full body impact!
I’m new here and greatly appreciated this. I’m a retired old white guy who spent my career as a staff chaplain in a hospital near Chicago. I wanted to confirm what you said about the disparity in health care between minorities and white people. It wasn’t just in the sixties, it continues to this day and it is shocking. I am a Christian in my faith (not a republican) and I just hope there will be a day, soon, when my fellow Christians become more “whole life” than just “pro life “and are just as concerned about the social issues involved in the needs of young women as they about the baby in the womb.
