I'm reading this and crying in the Mexico City airport, filled with deep embarrassment for the country I represent. Also crying for my silly pearl-clutching, cuz yeah many people have already understood the plot of our country. I thought I did too, but I didn't understand to the degrees. I share your fear and outrage with a husband that is an immigrant, though a white-passing one, so we stupidly, grossly, have the option to comfort ourselves sometimes with that.
Thanks for this, Robin, and very jealous that you are in the Mexico City airport! I too feel that deep embarrassment, in part because I continue to be proven so naive about so many aspects of our country.
I am so insanely filled with rage and yes the rage calls me to action but I just cannot believe the evil we are witnessing (even though I know it's been there all along) with the epstein files, the ice kidnappings and concentration camps, the murders we are seeing on our phones. Just SO much rage every day. Thank you for writing through it. I have tried but I have so little words at this time.
Read this piece with tears filling my eyes. Thank you, Sarah.
Thank you, Amy.

Thank you, Roshni.

I know. It’s like it just becomes so much it’s almost hard to believe, to process…
Thank you for writing this.

You have transmuted your rage into something so powerful, Sarah. Deep gratitude for your presence and will to put words to all of this.
