Why Women Kill
A survey found 20 percent of women in prison for homicide had killed an abusive partner.
There's a lot of news right now, and this is not, technically, news. But today's episode is moving, surprising, and generally what a good interview can be (if I do say so myself) -> slate.com/podcasts/wha...

Iβve been working in DV for 13 years - this is the stuff no one wants to talk about. Iβm grateful to these women for talking about it.

I want us to learn to distinguish between people who voted for Trump and MAGA Republicans who have used Trump voters to enact all of this suffering.
Please. May we use this moment to clear a path *back* to sanity - not further isolation.

Iβm not saying you have to invite them into your home. And I believe accountability is a part of care. BUT PLEASE do not celebrate the suffering of your fellow working class or poor humans like they deserve it. None of us NONE of us deserve this.

If weβre ever to have any hope of bringing them into our coalition, I just need you to understand that their suffering is still *human suffering* brought on by the oligarchy. When you preach on class solidarity, it must include Trump voters who have a chance to learn now.

Iβm begging my fellow Democrats, progressives, liberals, leftists (all of us) to dig deep and find some empathetic feeling for the Trump voters who are only just now realizing that they were used and lied to. Please.

Community requires love, and love is hard work.
People have been used and lied to. Of course they will be mistrustful. Be worthy of their trust.
You donβt have to fight every battle all the time - this is why community is vital. We share the load.

Some wisdom I have earned:
People donβt change their minds all at once. They inch. The move slowly. They rationalize and justify and excuse, and if/when they move, in time, they will forget that they used to believe what they did.
Curiosity is a value in and of itself.

You know whatβs crazy?! There are people around my age, who watched The Muppet Christmas Carol like I did many times as child, who grew up to be republicans. How does that happen?!

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry?
Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
