To Donald Trump:
Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.
Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.
Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.
Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.
To all of our LDS brothers and sisters in faith, sending prayers in this time of great sorrow and unspeakable tragedy.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
