It’s coming. I am hoping we look back at these 4 Trump years as racisms last stand. We got to keep working though, we have a lot that has to be down.

Amazing. I am not religious, but I love to see this happening. It shows the true love that humans can have for each other regardless of belief.

This is a thousand times more powerful than the absurd picture of Trump awkwardly thrusting the Holy Book skyward. These are probably mostly Christian Americans protecting their Muslim fellow Americans at prayer. God Bless them all. There is hope.

That’s exactly what REAL Christians should do. When you love your brother there is no room for hate or violence and no tolerance for either.
