Deepa, I appreciate your insight into the process of our fracturing body politic. It’s been a long time coming as so many “smaller” losses weakened us — a lack of understanding of checks and balances, a loss of civility and the growing acceptance of outrageous public behavior, the re-glorification of white supremacy — and dozen of other assaults on decency and truth. This piece was beautifully crafted. Kate Breen
Deepa, thank you for this powerful and poignant piece! I especially appreciate your questions for reflection. So helpful in this time of emotional and action overload🙏🏽
Thoughtful piece. I’m glad you learned what you could from that episode with your brother!
Your closing invitations invited reflections on what this moment has revealed. None seem more obvious than the glaring complicity of the Democratic Party in the overt fascism it has long enabled in plain sight. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/7-ways-democrats-made-donald-trump
