Yes, I agree with all that you have been saying, but you know what’s really getting to me right now? It’s the idea of white privilege, which allows us to say things like “it all really breaks my heart, but I can’t just stand to read any more about it or watch any more news reels of starving, skeletal children. So we have the privilege of simply looking the other way because we “can’t take it.” Wow…just wow. How privileged is that? I understand frustration in not knowing how best to help, but we can all pick up a phone and share our rage and frustration with our elected officials, whether we think that will do any good or not (Tuberville and Britt, I’m looking at you!). We can show up, be a physical presence, in public, on protest lines when others fear that doing so will cause harm to them personally. But we need to stay informed or democracy will die on our watch, and all will be sold to the highest bidder. (Sorry, I think I’m all over the place on this, but frustration is running high.)
