My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated

What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal

Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump

Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11

Fled the ravages of the Vietnam war and entered the US legally" A picture of a missing poster attached to a lamppost in Los Angeles. Photograph: Mike Blake/Reuters
