Erin, powerful words, written by you who it sounds like is on the front lines of this madness. The injustice of so much (all) of what is happening is a path to despair and my tool, along with writing, sharing with others who are also appalled and shocked, and trying to slow down so I don't panic, is to compartmentalize. I didn't realize just how much I have been doing that until I read this. BTW: I taught older teenage immigrants newly arrived in the US before I retired last year. The impact on them has been devastating.
Erin, these are amazing insights. The panic response is something I often find myself fighting, and I’m grateful for your perspective of expansion. 🥰🥰
