Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Saddened by the news of Brian Wilson's death, but grateful for the considerable gifts he gave us. I often feel like I live in a world that Wilson, Lennon & McCartney, and a few others defined. What a privilege.
Rest in Peace.
