This is so powerful, Alycia -- and so horribly true. I still can't believe the SoA did that and they are just one among so many examples. Someone sent me a news clip today of a a Muslim woman trying to talk about Islamophobia in the wake of events in the UK while the two hosts and two oppositional voices bayed and interupted and behaved with such appalling contempt. There is an MP here is being referred to the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor's office and has asked for the parliamentary immunity of Ms Chikirou to be lifted so she can be investigated and potentially sentenced for posting a tribute to Ismaël Hanniyah on her personal twitter account. Thank you for not staying silent.
Thanks so much for this comment, Jan. It feels so hard to persist, but the way we care for each other and support each other is sometimes the only way to get through. Love & warmth to you.
Even though you say you present this as fragments, it works incredibly well - bringing up so many relevant issues and rich, interesting references, with some thought-provoking and evocative turns of phrase and a rhythm (via the fragments?) that pushes it all forwards. Thank you.

Yes -- and the pressure to break down that care and support makes it all the more urgent. x
