As someone who has received violently threatening phone calls and targeted for immigration work, it is incredibly out of touch for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to suggest political violence only happens to politicians like her.

Now in my adult years, I have lived in NJ for a smidge longer than I lived in west TX where I was born and raised.
One constant reminder of this is that my phone now autocorrects “honky tonk” to “honky TONY” — arguably one of the most Texan words subbed for the most Jersey word.

I’m really sad about Myanmar where it’s been one tragedy or atrocity after another for more than a decade.
This was one of the more challenging places for me to travel (all cash strapped to my belly 24/7), but also the most humbling and rewarding.
Hard to know what’s next after this.
