It has been nearly 20 years since I lived in the US, but I still have strong ties, friends and family there. The last month (has it only been a month?) has been hard to watch from the outside, and I can only imagine how much more difficult it is on the inside. @eseb.bsky.social sums it up well.

Thank you, @eseb.bsky.social!
