Yes. That's true. But, you don't have to go to the Middle East. You can make.changes to your life so you don't travel there. They may be difficult and hard choices, but there's that option.

As for here, it's a different sort of calculation. We're experiencing a fascist rise and attempt e take over. It's not the first time, it won't be the last.

We know what happens when fascists seize power. There's been some pretty good historical examples. There's a reason why the rest of the world is watching what's going on here politically in absolute terror. They've got reason to be afraid.

We also know which marginalized people they'll be coming for first. We know who's going to be second. We've got a good idea who's going to be third. And as always, gettinf the women under control and having replacement babies for all the upcoming dead is one of the first orders of business.

If you're in any of those groups, youve for a choice to make. You've for a line to draw, you're enough is enough. And you need to begin preparing.

I can't tell you yours. But, I've thought about mine.

Whatever you decide, I'd keep it to yourself.
