Please Keep Your Digital Crosses Off My Digital Lawn

Sharon in some ways the digital lawn is worse - it's harder to track down the culprits and harder to stop them. I can't understand the hate needed to behave this way. I'll warn my community, and if I see a way to stop or identify the people behind it I'll share. I'm thankful every day for you and your resilience in continuing to stand up for yourself and so many others without a platform.

Hi Sharon, your work is so inspiring so vital, so full of positive energy - thanks for all that you do in the face of all these hateful possibilities. Let your light shine.

Thanls for the headsup and warning. Will let my friends know about this.

That sounds very exhausting to deal with.

Hi Sharon, thank you for letting us know what happened. Your gut is spot on and it is always good to keep an eye out for these creeps because they seem to have a lot of time on their hands to spread hate. What's happening to Fani Willis and Letitia James is shameful and should be illegal. They are constantly feeling threatened by education, autonomy, especially from women, or anything that debunks this idea of white supremacy. It's really sad.

When I clicked the link to comment from my email, it took a couple of tries to get through, which had me worried that they were already starting by trying some denial of service attacks.

The hate runs deep in so many and they are clever in how they package a lot of it to appeal to people who don’t think they are racist. It’s a major reason I subscribe to your site. I need to keep being reminded, to keep thinking about what I can do, and how sometimes just being silent lets the hatred grow and fester.

This makes me angry. There has to be a way to fight back. Be strong, Sharon!

I am beyond disgusted by these whiteboys and their women whose hatred for others is a mask for their insecurities.

As a national delegate and black caucus co-chair of the Green Party, this is EXACTLY why I keep a low online profile. And even then, I still feel like I need to keep my 'activism' lowkey is actually more exhausting than being loud and proud.

I read your newsletter with my email regularly and I find you inspiring, motivating, compassionate and insightful. I don't often comment, but given what I just read, I want you to know that you have a big positive impact on me -- and I'm sure others -- daily. I had no idea about the rebrand -- thank you for sharing that and I'm sorry these things are happening to you -- to others -- still. I support you.

I read your newsletter and LinkedIn columns as often as I can, and it seems that you're putting up with this nonsense all the time. I'm really sorry that you have to deal with it at all. That must really suck. You have my support and care. I wish I could carry some of it for you.

Thank you for sharing the rebrand info. I had not come upon it yet - and I'm glad you took steps to ensure this person doesn't harass you. Your gut is steering you in the right direction, I'm sure.
