Travellers & tourists should be aware the #Hilton hotel chain just fired a franchisee who wouldn't rent a room to ICE thugs. If you stay at a Hilton/Doubletree (or affiliates) you might be next door to a trigger-happy goon squad, or supporting a brand that's made a choice to stand with them.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.
