Protesters blocked soouthbound University Ave. beside the U.S. Consulate to protest U.S President Donald Trump's recent ban on Muslim's. The violence and deaths on our soil added a grim sadness to the proceedings, a horrific immediacy to the message. But alongside the fear, it inspires a resolve to do something. Reminders that the president of the United States of America is not the United States of America — and that he didn’t even get a majority of the votes Americans cast. That showing up to stand and shout is better than cowering and standing aside.
