One of the only wonderful things about the Trump administration has been the remarkable protests that his hateful, xenophobic, idiotic policies have engendered throughout our country. Americans coming together in historic numbers to stand opposed to hate, bigotry, sexism, corruption, and the purposeful destruction of our environment for personal profit.
The Woman’s March was the largest single day protest in American history and spread throughout the world. My family marched on that day, and it is a memory I will cherish forever.
There were protests at airports following the various iterations of Trump’s bigoted travel bans. The Tax March. The March for Science. Protests following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Protests following Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement. Protests following Trump’s DACA decision. Many, many more.
Today Americans march is opposition to the authentically evil of separation of children from their migrant parents. Hundreds of thousands of Americans – and maybe more – will once again stand in opposition to Trump – a man elected by a minority of Americans – and his cruel and indefensible immigration policies.
Peaceful, forceful, unending protest. It’s a beautiful thing. The only beautiful thing to come out of the election of this vile, ignorant, self-serving human being.
