🇺🇸 I know that it's hard to believe that the people you look to for safety and security are the same people who are causing us so much harm. But I'm not lying and I'm not delusional. I am scared and I am hurting and we are dying. And I really, really need you to believe me.

🇮🇹 So che è difficile credere che le persone a cui cerchi sicurezza e protezione siano le stesse che ci stanno causando così tanti danni. Ma non sto mentendo e non sono deluso. Ho paura, soffro e stiamo morendo. E ho davvero, davvero bisogno che tu mi creda.

Ijeoma Oluo, Nigerian-American writer.

Mr. Trump, the USA are not America. They are in North America. Canada is not America, but It is also in North America. Mexico is not America either, but it is in North America too. Furthmore, he who is born in Canada is Canadian and he who is born in Mexico is Mexican. What about he who is born in The United States of America? American? Just American? If so, every Canadian can also be simply called "American" and, therefore, every Mexican also has the right to be simply called "American". One cannot forget that the title of the American patriotic song written by Irving Berlin is "God Bless America" and not "God Bless the USA", and, by some irony of fate, he was born in Imperial Russia, not in the United States.
