Being afraid does not make one a coward

It's OK to be afraid of a lot of things...

It's OK to be afraid of the dark.

It's not that weird to be wary of crowded places.

It's alright to be a little afraid of bees.

It's even OK to be afraid of clowns, even ones that nobody else sees.

But you know what makes you a coward?

Seeing Suha Abushamma forced to fly away from the US and Nazanin Zinouri be sent back to a country where her family lives, for her home is here in the US, and thinking that it makes you "safe", that is what makes you a coward.

Now is not the time to keep silent.

There is no room for ambiguity either. Obfuscation at this point in time means you belong to Trump. Anything less than a definite NO! is a vote for Trump. Anything less than resistance is showing support for Trump.

No room for disagreement on this.

There are no two sides to this story.

Too much is at stake.

Too many lives are at risk.

You are either against Trump or you're part of the problem.

If you're looking for middle ground, you're looking to normalize Trump and his actions.

This is war. In case anyone had any doubts.
