With news about more mass shooting this week in the US, continued separation of families at the southern US boarder, “transhumanism”, and a gun shop in North Carolina ridiculing and targeting US Congresswomen, my week in the US was spent in a medium state of outrage. But that outrage is also fuel, so we roll up our sleeves and keep going!
