I’m grateful to the writers whose words in support of my new novel shimmer with understanding. Some are shared in this video. Others will appear in videos to come. For this one, if I were to take a single word from each of these quotes, they would be these: power, joy, unforgettable.

OPB Exclusive: In October, an ICE officer in Portland called 911 to report a kid following him on a motorized bike. He told the dispatcher, "I need someone here now, or else I'm going to have to shoot this kid." Homeland Security did not respond to OPB's questions about the incident.

Wife and I celebrated our first-date anniversary today — 26 years. Reminisced about all our travels. Then decided we can’t travel internationally anytime soon because we can’t risk her being detained upon return. She’s a citizen, been here 45 years, never any legal trouble. Astonishing.

America is …. The birthday party we went to yesterday for the one-year-old child of Indian immigrants who live in our neighborhood. America is not …. demonizing immigrants and eliminating birthright citizenship. America is … a party where people from all over the world gather to toast new life.
