Trump's Ban On Citizens... Who's Next ?
http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com

It hasn't even been two weeks since Donald Trump has taken office, and yet he's doing what he's promised by "Making Amerikkka White again"... I mean "great" again. Last week every minority's nightmare had already started. In regards to the chaos I wanted to acknowledge a poem and reflect on it.


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me

This poem was written by a Protestant Pastor during the time when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party were capturing and executing an entire group of people. Although the poem was written almost 80 years ago, it is very relevant now.

Trump has made many efforts already that have caused damage to Women, by taking initiative to defund Planned Parenthood.

He has also pushed the projects of continuing the building of DAPL, which comes after the lands of, the already extinct, Native Americans.

And we ALL know about the 8 billion dollar plan to build a wall to keep US in the United States, or keep Mexicans out. I don't know, I'm still uncertain of the actual reasoning behind this stupid wall.

Over the weekend, Trump put a travel ban on people who were from 7 Muslim-majority countries. Causing a great erupt of confusion and anger around America. Airports deported and detained many people who were from any of the countries on the list.

Trump hasn't been in office a month and has attacked Women, Native Americans, Mexicans, and now Muslim Immigrants. Many have taken a stand on the issues Trump has brought up and hundreds of thousands of people are fighting against Trump.

Some people are still oblivious to what is happening right now, or even indifferent because they problems do not effect them, but it's only a matter of time that Trump and Co. will attack another group of people.

Standing up for what's right isn't just for women, minorities, LGBT members, poor, and Muslims, this is for EVERYONE who is against HATE. Because when all the above are done being attacked, another group will be the target.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
