"No one is illegal on stolen land, and it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, Billie Eilish said, reiterating a phrase popular at anti-ICE protests as she won song of the year for Wildflower. I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter. Fuck Ice' is all I want to say, sorry."
"ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans, he said, adding: The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. Please, we need to be different. If we fight we have to do it with love. We don't hate them that's the way to do it, with love. Don't forget that, please."
