And literally hundreds of thousands joined in over 700 rallies across America to echo that theme while protesting Trump’s<\/strong><\/em> inhumane mishandling<\/em> of immigrants.\u00a0 (And just a reminder: Seeking asylum is NOT illegal!)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The crowds came from Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, DC, Boston, Salt Lake City, Portland, ME \u2013 towns big, small and in-between.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe it would be worthwhile to enjoy a few of the tens of thousands of signs that sent a message to our representatives from the Oval Office to our City Councils.\u00a0 In viewing hundreds of signs it seems like there were some common themes.\u00a0 One of the most repeated was \u2026<\/p>\n

SHAME<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And related to that were ones that were \u2026<\/p>\n

RELIGIOUS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But the ones that were the most passionate were the ones calling out Twitler<\/strong><\/em> \u2026<\/p>\n

GODWIN BE DAMNED<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which of course inspired quite a few to actually graphically demonstrate what he was doing to children \u2026<\/p>\n

CAGED<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But to end on a lighter note, of course there were clever ones \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And my all time favorite \u2013 and I don\u2019t think Paul Simon<\/strong> would mind one bit \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course the bottom line answer to end this travesty is \u2026<\/p>\n
