I think when you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don’t think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.

it was nevertheless important that we all play a part in assuring that our elected officials are accountable.

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.
