Oh my dear friend. Thank you for writing this. Every word resonates. You are so right because the good news IS we can make a difference by speaking out anyway we can. Like you did with this piece and others you have written. A lot of vocal people can make a difference. Words and actions of all size.
The scary, horrifying part is we are not close to being out of the current mess with Russia. Thomas L. Friedman wrote a frank piece today in The NY Times . I cannot seem to paste the link(tech problems continue) but the article title for a google is: “Putin Has No Good Way Out and that Really Scares Me.”
Sending big hugs for better days💕❤️⭐️
