I feel like a mother kangaroo
Hi folks, Paul here. It’s early AM Tuesday EST; I’m in Raleigh for a visit with family, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing how to respond to the weekend’s tragedy in Charlottesville, VA.
Heather Heyers lost her life at the hands of a… madman, bigot, terrorist; these words all apply to her murderer. Speaking with the Huffington Post, her mother said:
I don’t want her death to be a focus for more hatred, I want her death to be a rallying cry for justice and equality and fairness and compassion.
As a big believer in all these things, I want to be clear: while this blog generally isn’t meant to be political, we wholeheartedly condemn Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
It’s surreal to even have to say that. But given the weekend’s events, it’d feel wrong not to speak out about it.
Paul
