Thanks for considering

Remembering my father Mahfoud Bennoune on what would've been his 89th birthday

In these harrowing times, I'm inspired by the fact that he never gave up working for freedom & dignity & knowledge & reason & humanity in his beloved #Algeria & in the world

We shouldn't either

Dear #Canada, Dear #Mexico,
Cher Canada, Querido México,

Please know how many of us in the #USA love & respect your great countries

We are moved when Justin Trudeau calls us "our closest friends & neighbors." That is how we also see you

We stand against efforts to divide us

Never, ever giving up on this vision of what this country could be, will be, must be
