  1. But BLM are anti-Semites. So, how would anti-Semitism be part of this vigil? it is confusing.

  2. Thank you to everyone who showed up Saturday night to make this statement. They did a better job responding to hate than the current president. I’m very proud of them, and happy to share a community with them.
