Thanks, Jeff. As a social work colleague, I am also committed to the Ethic of Care concept as I've seen its value so often in every day life. Thank you for highlighting the ways in which the current administration is attacking, undermining and degrading the importance of dignity, respect, kindness, compassion, and civility. It is frightening to watch and imperative that we not abandon these crucial components of a just and civilized nation.

As we celebrate Pride Month, may we each continue to bring light into our world, and push away the darkness to see a brighter rainbow in the months and years ahead. Clearly, you will be inspiring us with Words over Swords!

Thanks Mary Jean. Sadly, the Administration is celebrating Pride by removing the name Harvey Milk from a military ship. How small and petty. They are determined to erase anything that doesn't satisfy their limited worldview.

Thanks for this piece, Jeff. "Wizard of Flaws" is an apt descriptor.

Thankful for you and the work that you do. You are a warrior for inclusion, the antidote to all we see happening around us. They want to cancel anything that takes the spotlight from white, elite, hetero-Christian standardization but they can’t and won’t cancel the greatly diverse American spirit, which is made up of many cultures and traditions. We all look, pray, and love differently—that spirit of difference isn’t going away. Loved your metaphor and AI image! 😂 Keep doing what you’re doing, Jeff! The world needs you. Thank God for you and people like you! 🙏🥰🙌
