Back in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.
Good people doing great work in a terrifying world. Cling to your joy, people!

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

In an effort to keep deep sadness about America at bay I am listening to Louis Armstrong and re-reading Moby Dick. That’s my America. And this guy. Still finding things to be proud about.
