Is anyone else seeing what I’m seeing in the Olympics opening ceremony right now, the kids holding the plants are Asian or Caucasian when athletes from African countries parade, Caucasian when they’re Asian and African, and African when they’re Caucasian or Asian.
The dancers were wearing rainbow flags on their shoulders, there were short clips of environmental issues and a small forest is going to be planted after all of this.
This opening ceremony is honestly really important, I can’t even form proper thoughts right now as to how blown away and moved I am.

US green card: Don’t leave!
If you are living in the U.S. and if you hold anything other than a U.S. passport – this includes if you hold a green card – do not leave the U.S. right now. Period. People with legitimate green cards are being refused entry at the borders. People who were unfortunate enough to be travelling at the time Trump (spit) issued his order can’t get back home. Students with student visas are not being allowed to return to class. Homeland Security has confirmed this.
It looks like Trump’s order is illegal according to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. That doesn’t matter right now; any court challenge will take time.
Stay in the U.S. until this is resolved. And I apologize to you. This is appalling.
Important clarification: This applies only to people from IRAN, IRAQ, LIBYA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, SYRIA AND YEMEN. Everybody else is okay … for now.
