So, some dude told Kal Penn with this on IG:
“You don’t belong in this country you fucking joke.”
So, Kal Penn decided, what better way to get back at him than to start a crowdfunding page for Syrian refugees.
To the dude who said I don't belong in America, I started a fundraising page for Syrian Refugees in your name. https://t.co/NOR5P48fBi pic.twitter.com/jtJOsK9GrU

On the same day Donald Trump‘s pretty lazy and poorly written executive order fucked over thousands of people and terrified millions, Penn launched this crowdfunding page, with its aims outlined:
“We are better than the hateful people who tell us we don’t belong in our own country, that America can’t be a beacon of freedom and hope for refugees from around the world. We will turn their bigotry, along with the President’s, into love.”
If anything this election has proven that a solid enough portion of this country wants revenge on brown, queer, female, and Jewish people for being alive so badly that they will literally elect anyone, but aight.
America is garbage.
Fight the man, Kal Penn.
