Powerful essay, Nance. I will be thinking for awhile about these words you quoted:

You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.”

It is a hard time to be a sensitive empathetic person in a world where there are so many demands and so much pain and to be walking with determination not to abandon myself in the midst of it all☮️➕💜

Nancy, you have written so many of my thoughts in your essay. Thank you for being such a strong voice. I was at a Hands Off! Rally last week, 500 strong in Decorah, Iowa. I will have to read Omar's book.
