I have been so pissed that I stopped publishing the podcast for a minute because I did not trust my words to land with care.

I kept watching what I am seeing around immigration enforcement and the way people talk about human dignity like it is negotiable, and it showed up in my body.

I felt it in my sleep, in my anxiety, and in the way I moved through the day.
