Thank you for this, as ever. I have no discrete emotions at this point.

Thank you Jared. How can we keep the ceaseless horror and tragedy from completely burning out our ability to feel? We are so far past any sane threshold that i really don't know how we can come back. It is really bad. Thanks for speaking words of Truth. Thank you.

It is so, so exhausting. I read so much about white supremacy and the psychological "why" of the need to deny what's right in front of everyone's faces, and I still don't get it. It is so hard to fathom how deeply broken a collective existence must be to refuse to acknowledge what is so obvious.

The audacity of this man and his white police “handlers” to blame them women he killed as temptresses, and by eliminating them would solve his sexual issues Is par for the course. We all need tip toe around these over evangelicalized, over sexed, over armed white guys who have no impulse control. When are we going to put an end to this?
