"We don't get to tell a black person what to feel and think. When a black life is viciously and unjustly taken. We don't get to tell an Israeli person or a Jewish person how to feel or think when they've experienced and seen the trauma that they've seen. You don't get to tell a Palestinian person or an Indigenous person how to feel and think when they're experiencing trauma in their community"
"Is there any way we can get together and have a dialogue in private? Talk to each other. And I understand, though, too, that the grief and the pain and the hurt and the trauma is so raw that it might not be possible in this moment, but it's actually this moment that we need to be having those conversations."
