I participated in a demonstration today, the San Francisco Interfaith Vigil, against ICE outside a deportation site in San Francisco. It was hosted by an interfaith organization and 1000 Mothers. There’s not much I can do to fight Trump’s policies but take to the streets. And so I do.
Let us not forget the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago. I recently visited Hiroshima and the Memorial Park, A woman spoke to us about living through Hiroshima when she was a young girl. There’s a mound that holds the remains of 70,000 people.
Yeah, I live in the hell hole of California. Why sometimes (too often this summer) we don’t have sunshine. We also have characters who are protestors.
How I’m feeling at the 100 days of Trump. Protests all over the US on May first.
My sign - and certainly not all the issues I care about - but here it is for today.
