Meanwhile, Mr. 'make America great' is busy Tweeting his worst and spreading more hate while some of us are so poor they can't afford shoes on their feet, while some mother's sweet baby starves to death in their sleep. Can you see us? We are Dreamers. Can you feel us? We are believers. We are more than keyboard warriors — we are the changemakers, yes, we are. Yes, we are. Somewhere in a hundred no-name towns are a million lives being turned upside down. And you know this is the only home those kids have ever known, refugees from wars and regimes being overthrown. Meanwhile too many of these united states ignore the words Lady Liberty spake. Doors being kicked down in the dead of the night, no more sanctuary cites — how's that for religious right? “And if there's anyone out there who questions what America at its very best will feel like now,” remember 66 million united in love, steadfastly indivisible across countless cities and towns, the bluest wave crashing from shore to shore, and all the "hate has no home here" signs on all those doors — we know who we are like we know how to breathe. Sing it with me, sing it with me please... "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Give me the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these — the homeless, tempest-tossed — to me."
