This strikes me less as “travel writing” and more as a survival manual for the new century. I appreciate how it reframes leaving not as escape but as practice — sovereignty as something you build, not buy. It’s a stark message, but maybe starkness is what wakes us up.
I’m curious what your take is on this bill proposal from Rep. Brian Mast:
“The original language would have given Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, the power to deny or revoke passports for individuals the department determines have provided “material support” to terrorist organizations. Given similar language employed by the Trump administration in other contexts, it is believed to have been intended to target pro-Palestinian activists specifically.”

This feels like a major trip wire given that the US just designated “Antifa” as a domestic terrorist group this week.
My family and I are already out of the country, but I’m worried about other friends and family who aren’t.
