Tatyana Thompson said when she became pregnant with her son, her pain from sickle cell intensified. She was repeatedly in the hospital with a sharp pain, which she compared to being cut by a knife. After experimental treatment requiring bone marrow from her brother, she is pain-free.

Because not everyone has been to Central Park, quantifying this matters. I've already seen a "size of a football stadium" comparison and unless they're wildly overbuilt that's not even close. Central Park is allegedly 843 acres. The size of one regulation NFL field is just over an acre.

NEW: Virginia lawmakers just passed a bill that'd forbid sheriffs and local police from contracting with ICE, if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws and agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree that'd spell the end of ICE contracts in Virginia:

Virginia Is Poised to Ban ICE Contracts, Unless the Feds Agree to Obey the Law. No One Expects Them to. - Bolts
