You've written such a heart-wrenching and powerful statement! And, as my dear friends in Ukraine teach me, on a daily basis, we have no choice but to do this again. We get to come together, lean into each other, express our pain, find joy in each day, and call out the bad behavior. Silence only serves violence. Thank you for sharing this!

Thankyou for this. Feeling it exactly. And the emphasis on how rich have lost their homes is even more frustrating!!

Definitely, it’s all connected but we struggle to see it. Maybe if the rich start to feel threatened something will be done…

When Pandora opened the box the only thing left was Hope, it seems a flimsy thing but I’m clinging to it xx

I believe people's anger will continue to explode until governments implode. It's what happens when they take everything away. I'm not excusing it, but I can more or less understand it.

I think so too… I think we’re definitely reaching some sort of feverish tipping point soon. We can’t really continue one way or another and maybe it’ll spur some sort of mass change… but who knows. The universe likes to prove me wrong haha

What a powerful post. My heart is in LA. I have family there. I'm so sorry it's all happening. From faraway, I send you a hug.
