Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

For those of you concerned with "waste, fraud and abuse" - the US is destroying life-saving birth control rather than donating or selling to non-profits willing to repackage and distribute to women around the world.
This planned destruction of birth control devices is part of the dismantling of USAID services — and linked to allegations by the government that cite abortion. Critics are speaking out.

Amazing conversation tonight with the incomparable Isabel Allende and Dr. Jill Biden at 6th and I where she underscored this message of "Don't give up" and also suggested that most marriages run their course after 20 years. :)
