You’re right, there are “rays of hope” I suppose, but I’m in the twin cities metro and we in my circle of friends and family aren’t feeling particularly hopeful. It’s hard not to feel crushed by the brutality that has been going on. We’ve been volunteering to get groceries for people and to pick up kids from school whose parents are afraid to do so, but we have our family situation doesn’t really allow us to be away from the house much. Many of my daughter’s friends are full remote for school now even though they are citizens because of their ethnicity. It’s just rough and it has been hard to not feel like we’re barreling towards a full nazi experience.
