Asha Deliverance, whose 23-year-old son Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche died Friday defending two young women from an Islamophobia-spewing light-rail rider, urged the President to condemn violence in a moving Memorial Day letter.
You have said that you will be President for all Americans, she wrote in a letter obtained by the Washington Post. So, I ask you Mr. President to take action at this time. Your words and actions are meaningful, here in America and throughout the world.

Between this and the two young Native American men here in WA who were run down (also ignored) I am so ashamed of what he has wrought.

(18,124 posts)DOES NOT CARE about this woman's son. He encouraged white rage at blacks, browns and all not white male and so-called KKKristian. He stoked the rage apparent in this white supremacist terrorist who murdered these two who stood up to bigotry, racism and hate.

(19,199 posts)the way Trump sees it, there's two fewer Democrats to stand in his way of being Dictator in Chief. It further emboldens the toxic, murderous cretins Trump calls his "base", as well.
Trump, and his ilk, are the lowest forms of life on the planet. They don't deserve the air they breathe.

(34,051 posts)"The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable, the President wrote. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them.
"The statement was issued to his professional account, not his personal one which most of his alt-right base follows."

(45,433 posts)along with the continued denial of the existence of white terrorism and pulling law enforcement resources off of monitoring white supremacist terrorist groups
Anyone who thinks terrorists are brown is part of the problem.

(18,748 posts)He has contempt for anyone who struggles, anyone who lives & dies by their humanity. This "plebeian" cry for help (or for an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) from the Trump admin has probably been confronted with scorn, or not at all. If it can't make Trump even richer & more "powerful", it simply doesn't exist.
