Bravo, Jules! So glad to see you writing again. Great topic for your first column, and cogently written. We must keep this story alive, and not let Cruz, Hawley, Green, et al pretend this wasn't one of the worst days in our history. Thanks.
I admit that AOC has been more outspoken than I am sometimes comfortable with. However, perhaps that is what we need more of. We have become so complacent on so many topics. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thank you, Julie. I read and I listened. Yes, I was abused when I worked at the Iowa Dept. of Public Health as a man presses his body against mine. No raping but he was speaking. I reported it and the entire Capitol Hill went to classes. I found 4 other women he had attacked and got information out to all women in our dept. and reported him to Personnel. We had great classes but that was in 1985 or so and I do not think the State Government kept them up. Jan. 6 was a terrible day. I watched it all. At first they said someone had been killed and I did not know who. I saw the Governor wanting to send the National Guard and not getting approval. I saw them break in and beating cops. It was one of the worse days in the USA's history. Thank you for the column and thank you for sharing the video.
Thanks, Maddy. It feels like there’s a sea change since the Me Too movement when people started speaking up, then finding empowerment in numbers. Don’t you?

Bravo.
Thanks, Deba!
It will happen again. Men want control and some will stop at nothing to gain it. She is to be admired, however.
Great column!
Thanks!
This is great, Julie!
