Howard Dean called last night’s State of the Union speech “kabuki” after reading this tweet from a woman whose sister’s husband of 20 years is getting deported:
This is why I chose not to watch trump last night. His words mean nothing. It’s all kabuki. https://t.co/KSBaCWIRu6

He’s being deported from the United Kingdom to Jamaica:
Yep, my nephew and niece are just two of them. We had a normal Xmas, 50th birthday, New year, 16th birthday (daughter) last week, 13th (son) next week. Woke up this morning to tell them, boom! dad's gone. Can maybe come back in ten years, they should Skype him. Life's changed. https://t.co/QojqxNf19r

The Windrush generation refers to migrants from the West Indies that were brought to the U.K. after WWII:
My heart really feels full right now. A lot of the Windrush generation are my age group. Schooled in the 60's & 70's, this is our home, we have no other. To be ripped from everything you thought you knew is nothing less than murder! Not heart failure, not suicide, bloody murder! https://t.co/SM3alXVm5u

Great job, Howard Dean. Stansted Airport is in London:
I literally can't sleep knowing that 50 families will be destroyed this morning. I will be visiting one of the families this morning. Don't know what to say. https://t.co/9JtL9awQQK
