When I was little, I had a friend named Maria del Pilar. She had caught polio and had to wear a full steel body brace to keep her spine upright so her lungs wouldn't collapse. She loved Gabriel Garcia Lorca. She was a probing and creative reader who taught me so much about Spanish literature.

She killed herself at the age of 23, unable to stand living with the pain of her destroyed skeletal system.

That's who I think of when people try to sanewash RFK Jr.

I am seized by a bottomless rage.
