We mourn the loss of Barbara Ehrenreich, cherished friend, trailblazing thinker, writer, and activist, who never stopped taking down the fat cats or fighting for the people with wit, rage, and relish. We are forever grateful for this greatest of snarling, loving citizens.

Secret to trauma recovery (50 years in): there are no short-cuts. NONE. Every time I avoided, denied or moved on, I merely prolonged the agony. There's no bargaining with emotional truth. The sooner you feel what needs to be felt, the sooner it will release you. Repeat forever.♥️
