We are very grateful to Caitlin and Tim for keeping Aaron Bushnell's memory and his selfless deed alive. His was an act of compassion very few of us can ever emulate; only the Buddhist monks who self immolated during the American war against Vietnam.

The Israeli carnage goes on - the bombed are bombed again, the displaced are displaced again and again and again.... the starving are starved again. Countless the times of mothers weeping over their dead babies again and again, scenes of desperate fathers carrying bloodied shrouds wrapped around their dead little children happening over and over again.

The world goes on. Trump gloats over his tariffs, says it is the most beautiful word in the English language. Netanyahu the architect of a genocide is feted in Hungary by a man who no doubt aspires to be like him.

There must be good people and good places and good things happening somewhere... But this is the world as we know it right now.

Don't lose hope. Because only the good people lose hope. And if we all give up, only the murderous, the elitist and the apathetic will be left
