I work in a teaching hospital and know a number of nurses, respiratory therapists, doctors, and residents who come from one of the banned countries (or those who could end up on a future ban list like Pakistan). Many of these people go home at least once a year. Pretty scary to think that they won't be able to get back in if they leave in the next 90 days.

Who gives a shit what they're bothered by? The idea is to reach the other 75% of the country.

By demonstrating once a month? You think the german wall would have been brought down by protesting once a month?
East germans protested every week until the wall and the communist regime was brought down.
 
Crazy I'm Nigerian with a Green Card. If we get added to the list because of fucking Boko Haram and I can't get back in, have to research if Trump has any businesses at home now.
I'm going to bet that Trump (or someone in his administration) have direct ties to or stock in oil companies doing business there, so you're probably fine.

My Aunt from Syria was coming next week to visit her son in the USA who she hasn't seen in 7 years. At least my irrational Hillary hating brother who was " Trump is horrible but it's worth it to keep Hillary from being president " is shook for the first time
 
Trump and Muricans forget the US was founded by immigrants and that's what made it great.

He also wouldn't have Melania if it wasn't for immigration.

How the hell is the cold war any kind of comparison to a democratically elected administration? That doesn't make any sense. If 75% of the country thinks this guy is wrong things will change.

Tell your brother he is a dumbass. But I bet you already do this on a daily basis.

It's like a passenger on an airplane has just entered the cockpit and started flipping the switches.

What is happening is terrifying. And this is only the first week.

Has there even been any official confirmation about Iran blocking US citizens now? I haven't seen that reported anywhere.

The Associated Press ‏@AP

BREAKING: Iranian state news agency: Iran to `retaliate' against order limiting immigration from Muslim-majority countries.

It's terribly sad that the situation would have played out completely fine if it happened a week earlier. Insanity.

He lost the popular vote and is still president. Would not be what i call democratically elected.

Im sure if his approval rating falls another 11% things will change
 
Can you imagine what would happen if we had a terrorist attack under Trump?
It's going to happen and the Administration can't wait. They are antagonizing Muslims and the radicals are ecstatic about recruitment opportunities. Attack happens, we go to war, Trump and all the wealthy war industries laugh it up as they count their money while feigning concern and respect for the troops.

I want to repeat: Green card holders were handcuffed, their social media was reviewed, and they were asked their views on Trump"

wow
 
I hope this isn't the start of a war...

It's literally physically impossible for Iran to start a War with the US. They have no way of attacking it.

That doesn't mean this isn't all fucked up and that Iran are in the wrong for not letting US citizens in, because that's the right move. But there is no chance of war with Iran, they can't attack mainland US.
 
Get the fuck outta here with this bullshit. Americans came absolves themselves from this.

Not enough Americans have a shit. You get the government you deserve. Sadly, other countries will suffer from our failure to stand up to Fascism.

We each need to protest where we can be seen every single day, even if it's just holding a sign on the corner for five minutes. We need micro *and* macro protests. I'm starting today.

This has to become part of our daily lives. Enough is more than fucking enough!

I'm sure too. There's already been reports of ideas and plans being modified or scrapped.

The biggest threat right now is people losing hope that anything can change.

That's why i'm saying these protests have to be atleast weekly to remind people of the shit he pulls.

3 months from now people won't care anymore as long the aren't affected

it will be the new normal
