I don't know what to say about these stories. Which are only three that I saw, with many more in the world today I did not see.
I don't know what to do about stopping this from happening, except to wield my one little teaspoon every day with as much furious resolve as I can.
I share a grim sisterhood with the victimized women at their centers. I guess I just want to mark that this is happening, that I am paying attention, and that I thirst for justice and peace.
