absolutely incredible book, amazing writing & important topics. really loved the entire thing. scarily relevant to today even though it was written in 2016/2017

“I think of how foolish I was, to once pray for a country's mercy, and how thankful I am that those prayers were not answered. How, through this resistance, we might find a freedom where no mercy is required. We might find a humanity that is not asking to be seen, but demanding instead.”
