After Oct. 7, I started reading about the Palestinian situation. I kept wondering where the LGBTQ Arab voices were. Finding little, I set out on a project to bring these neglected voices to light. I used my money and hours of my time, but this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.

“Miller grows more influential. He is the president’s brain. Where Trump has no guiding principles, Miller is a resolute ideologue of white, western supremacy and a tactician of final solutions. Trump is easily lampooned, but Miller is the grimmest of reapers.”
