Before reading from her book, Jenan Matari noted that in every reading some page makes her cry. Re-reading this paragraph I wrote while preparing to publish it made me cry. Maybe your writing needs to be so evocative that it moves you, because writing serves to convey emotions as much as information.

As I wrote the last time a prominent right-wing supporter of gun violence was affected by gun violence at a political event:
"A political rally where shots are fired from an assault rifle and people die is the Republican Party’s vision for America. It’s where their political project has been steering us for the last 50 years.

An America where women die due to pregnancies that were never viable is the Republican Party’s vision for America.

An America where religious schools are locked down like military bases using public tax dollars via vouchers while public school students face daily gun violence is the Republican Party’s vision for America.

An America where the rich escape their tax burden while children starve and families must live in the street is the Republican Party’s vision for our country.

The Republican vision for our country is violence across the entirety of our society, in all its forms, and all its manifestations."
