Just for added context, that Rutgers professor was stopped. Rebooked their flight for the next day and still safely left the country so yeah. Still 100% fuck this regime, but most of us can’t move, family, finances, job, or lack of skill to immigrate to another country. It sounds so easy, but to literally leave your entire fucking life behind and started all over again from zero in a foreign country with no friends no family, no community, and probably not even knowing the language of the country all that well that’s like a huge turtle and I think most people have no real choice in the matter but to just stick it out regardless of what happens.
