Thank you for taking the time to read the piece and respond to that moment in particular. It was a pretty jarring experience and I appreciate how affirming you are about how frequently this happens to us online; it seems to be happening in greater frequency offline as 45 emboldens attacks on black women and these are some of the ripple effects on everyday people. It means a lot to me that it is meaningful to more than just me to read what history teaches us; unfortunately, this is not the first time our country or the world has faced times like this and probably will not be the last.
