Nobody was hurt. I want to hold onto that tonight because I work in an ICU and I know exactly what the other version looks like.

Nobody was hurt. Everything else can be argued about tomorrow.

My parents came here in 1994 from a country where the government did whatever it wanted and everybody pretended that was normal.

My mother called me tonight and asked, in Spanish, whether we should be worried. My mother. Asking me. About America.

I said no. I do not know if I lied.

Eleven hundred and fifty Americans interned by Britain.

I want everyone posting "they had it coming" to sit with that number for one minute. Those are 1,150 people who did not vote on any of this, who were sent there, who have kids in Suffolk schools.

You can hate the policy. They are not the policy.
