Ordinary person, political junkie, with strong views on education, civil rights, and animal welfare. Still believe in brotherhood, democracy, and the NY Giants, even though they're all having a really rough patch.

In late 2013, a colleague @waelalzayat.bsky.social brought a data file to my office in the State Department. It contained photos reminiscent of the Holocaust, cataloguing the bodies of thousands of individual Syrians who'd been tortured or starved to death in this prison and others.
Sednaya prison is a few meters away To free the prisoners from inside .

Sednaya Prison is known for the tragic loss of thousands of detainees who lost their lives under torture under Assad's regime, and many more remain imprisoned there.

I have never seen so many grown men and women weeping at a sporting event. What a privilege it has been to witness, for more than two decades, the closest thing to perfection of skill and character and humility in sports. Thank you for the glorious journey, Rafa. ❤
