My heart breaks for the people of Afghanistan. But some are telling me to “stay in my lane”. Ummmm, did your parents survive China’s Cultural Revolution (millions died)? Did your grandparents barely escape the Rape of Nanjing (300k deaths)? The evacuation of refugees is personal!

2) p.s. one has a right and obligation to comment on and humanitarian struggle. And to advocate saving of lives out of basic human decency. People can disagree on course of action to save lives, but ignoring / downplaying humanitarian crisis is not okay.
3) Similarly, there are many causes of Yemen’s famine crises. But advocating for children and human welfare is never outside of anyone’s lane, regardless of your background. In fact, privileged folks should be more engaged because “great privilege comes with great responsibility”

4) Similarly, the other ongoing famine in Tigray Ethiopia is horrible too.
