It just occurred to me that all of the people I know who recently moved abroad were, in fact, all women. I personally will not leave, but if it got bad enough, I would send my family somewhere else. I'll stay and advocate for the people who don't have the resources to move out of the country.

One of my favorite fantasy authors pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump apologizing to a guy for being called a terrorist, but not saying that about Mamdani (who has been labeled a terrorist by rwnj).
So Trump warmly welcomed the new president of Syria to the WH. Sure says Trump, he had some "rough" things in his background (like being called a terrorist by the US).
So does this mean Trump is about to find a warm place in his heart for the newly elected mayor of NY?
Nah.
