I'm dammm proud of the citizens of this country tonight.

They not only appeared at the airports all over the country in support of the immigrants and also were outside the courthouse where the ACLU was appearing before a judge.
All were peaceful and all made a lot of noise.

We have to stand together and not be afraid. He's got a small cabal trying to things they don't even understand what they're doing.
They are bound to fail.

There are more of us than them and Orange Hitler has energized most of us. Not sure what is ahead but buckle up.

Resist then resist some more, we must fight this Neo Nazi power grab enabled by a brutal Russian dictator.

So much of what makes America great is our diversity.

America has long been a place of safety for people around the world fleeing religious, political, and gender-based persecution and violence.


President Trump has slammed the door on thousands of people—many of whom are women & children fleeing horrific violence.

Thanks to the protesters and to the ACLU for that.
