Ellin, I am appalled, disgusted, offended, and so so sorry that this has landed, for all intents purposes, back with you. You spoke eloquently and powerfully. I hope you published that somewhere besides here, where she could see it, not that she would read it. It’s gonna be a helluva an eight months isn’t it?

Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular at #DueDissidence originally published this piece. They have a tremendous following.

Ellin, when I listened to Sen. Katie Britt say these words, I actually thought of you, and Leigh Anna and Tad, and Felix, and what your response might be. I pray we will respond with more open minds and hearts, and not exploit tragedies like this, for any reason.

I must have missed that Felix had been killed. Another tragedy. Thanks for writing this

Thank you, Robin. It was upsetting, to say the least, to learn of Felix's murder.
