I am angry, and I am heartbroken, and I am disgusted, and I am embarrassed. This is not freedom. This is not ok. This is cruel, and this is disgraceful, and this is the edge of a cliff the world swore we’d never let ourselves, OURSELVES, stand at again. A man in the highest position of power our country can afford him, signs a refugee ban on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Human beings are detained in airports on United States soil, questioned, and arrested, for nothing other than trying to come home. Human beings representing Islam, a religion of PEACE, are singled out, outcasted, and threatened, based on nothing more than fear, ignorance, and arrogance that comes only with such privilege that truth can cease to exist, or matter. This is not ok and I refuse to be quiet, we must all refuse to be quiet. This is the edge of the cliff we swore that we’d never come to again, and we’re being pushed at gun point further and further towards it. With tears in my eyes I beg you, fight this, fight it with kindness, compassion, empathy, but fight it with ACTION. Call the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives at (202) 224-3121, donate to the @aclu_nationwide who need all the help they can get and just won a Temporary Stay against this madness tonight, but will be up against it again before we can blink, contact your local representatives, all of them, and demand change, leave comments on the official White House Facebook page, since he’s blocked phone calls. Do these things, Act, but do more, treat everyone around you who doesn’t have the privilege you do with protection, with respect, with kindness and with empathy. This is NOT freedom, this is Not who we are. Demand change. #NoBanNoWall #MuslimBan
