Sometimes it just hits super hard that we went from pandemic to this immoral nightmare.

I remember the gut punch of February 24, 2022: the feeling that a last gasp at order had been shattered irrevocably.

It seems so quaint now.

We've demonstrated so little decency, integrity, and capacity to surmount dehumanizing and anti-democratic forces since then.

I can't believe how much time has been spent rationalizing cruelty.

Or that the US election is still tight.

What the hell is wrong with us?
