May I adopt you? I would trade any number of claps for just one person who reads our essays critically and responds thoughtfully.

I seriously wonder what Jaron's agenda is. He is so exceedingly hateful and disrespectful of the status quo, yet he can't explain why; he's just very good at calling names. I know that too many people, especially people of color, are too apt to complain without knowing all, if any, of the facts behind their complaints. I fear that Jaron, though he may legitimately be the "woke, foundational, fill-in-the-blank" he claims to bed, could also be an agent of the opposition. He seems to be discouraging black and brown people to participate in electoral politics. We do so at our peril.

I've said about the Dobbs decision; I'm not crying, I'm not marching, and I'm not signing anything. The time to do that, figuratively speaking, was in November 2016, and if you didn't do it then, then I have no sympathy for you. The only thing we can do to redeem our losses, is to be active now.

I'm thrilled that someone like you is on othe job. Keep working and keep writing. You're MY shero.
