#LoveTrumpsHate. after a campaign filled with offensive rhetoric, the country is left polarized with election results. In 2012, after Barrack Obama won the election by 5 million votes, Donald Trump called for a march on Washington to "stop this travesty" on Twitter. However, two days ago, he criticized anti-Trump protestors by calling them "professionals" and "incited by the media." Protestors were chanting and holding signs to support LGBT rights, minorities, immigrants, women, and attention to climate change etc... Other signs were criticizing or simply refusing the President-elect. #AntiTrumpProtest #PresidentElect #NewYork #Manhattan #FifthAvenue #TrumpTower (at Trump Tower)

On this day last year, after several days of constant rain and cold, the sun came out for a bit of relief to the refugees in #Presevo, #Serbia. Many shared their unforgettable stories while waiting in line. One story in particular that I think about almost daily is of a young man whose brother had disappeared 3 years prior during a protest. In order to leave Syria, he said he had to give up hope that he would see his brother again and he missed that feeling - the feeling of hope. If memory serves correctly, the brother was only 20 years old at the time he was taken.
