My husband and I have joined a group of folks that take shifts at an elementary school to watch out for the folks sent by our government to terrorize fourth graders.
As we were talking at our meeting I said we are doing it because it is an important thing we can do, and it is the right thing. I finished with, “And we don’t even have kids!”
The leader looked right at me and said, “Now you do.”
Thanks, Mary, I needed to read this before I went to sleep. I needed to see beyond the greed and lies.
Thank you, Shanley, for the timely reminder of our shared humanity. Let us never lose sight of humanity's capacity for megalopsychia.

I still tear up thinking about that.
