So when we're talking about things like illegal entry, we're actually talking about administrative laws, right?

We're not talking about criminal law.

And we we really need to make a have an understanding of what it is that we are doing when we say that people who are noncitizens who have a different status based on where they were born, why they should endure an additional form of punishment when they have already gone through the criminal system.

I saw so many connections between what was happening to Palestinians there in Palestine and what was happening to so many communities across the US, particularly black and Latino communities who have been priced out and pushed out of our homes.

When we talk about displacement in the West Bank or in Gaza, it is a very similar, visually similar situation where people who have been in a place for generations are being displaced because of corporate interests, because of folks who are coming in, claiming the land,

and buying it up and kicking the people who live there out.

And I've seen a lot of similarities, not just in the way things are done, but also in the very institutions that are enacting that violence.

The tear gas that was being dropped on Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 was the same tear gas that was being dropped on black protesters in Ferguson in 2014.

And that memory, that summer for me, was incredibly formative because it showed me that connection is not only one that is like, but it is the very same system.

Thank you.

Today we make it clear.

The politics of the past ends today.

Is everyone lying to me about who they are?

I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult.

There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression.
