Yes, exactly, but please know that we’re trying to speak out, and hearing “no” at every turn. We who are the most informed and impacted by this issue are probably the least likely even to have a Twitter following. We’re shouting to ourselves. Also to the TV every time we hear that “pregnant people” are going to lose abortion access. (This, by the way, will not prove helpful to Democrats seeking re-election.) Black Mirror, indeed.
Very good point. I've been trying to speak out for the last year and almost no one I worked for in the last 20 years would let me, either. Hence, here I am on Substack, preaching to the converted.
You’re doing more than that, and I’m grateful. Speaking for the converts, it’s galvanizing to read your essays here —even, dare I say, affirming? Like a nutritious breakfast, you give us strength to fight another day. 💪🏻
Thanks Lisa, I remember clearly Rand Paul questioning Dr. Levine at her confirmation hearing and being so disheartened that only that kind of A-hole is willing to ask pertinent, proper, and appropriate questions. Indeed I feel like I am going crazy.
You've done it again Lisa! Thanks so much! This is totally my experience. So incomprehensible that I am looking to "right" news sources for ANYTHING. And yet, here we are.
Well Lisa,
This summarizes all my thoughts and feelings about this subject in a nutshell! Thank you!

Thank you, I truly appreciate that.
Another great article we can share!!!
Thank you!!!!
The ACLU is in fact lying about this?!
It's a nightmare.
It makes one doubt their ability to find fact on other issues.
Exactly! I wonder what falsehoods I've ingested from NPR and the NYT these last 30 years?!! I don't trust t anyone anymore!

The experience of coming to terms with gaslighting at this level is so frustrating! Thanks you for continuing to write about this Lisa!
