It can feel isolating to care deeply in a world that sometimes feels indifferent.
But you are not alone.
There are millions of people who care just as much as you do. You don’t have to carry the burden alone.
Find the people who are walking this path with you.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

Well, I have successfully made it in (and now, thank god, out) of the United States.
Idk if/when I will be back—which is sad, because I love US folks.
Once again, they did not make it easy. I will explain.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC.
I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States.
They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.

The thing you have to remember is that people DID care about covid in the US…until the numbers came out showing it was mostly Black and Hispanic people who were dying. It was almost overnight that a lot of folks STOPPED caring and declared Your Health is Not My Responsiblity.
For years, folks looked the other way as millions died or became disabled by Covid. They shouted “your health is not my responsibility” or “only the vulnerable” were at risk.
This callous disregard for human life has desensitized us. It helped pave the way for the current atrocities.
