Sweet. It should have been no taxi service period, not just for the airport.

I find it strange that US people schedule even protests. Over here, protests just start.
Yeah I never thought these executive orders could be used so forcefully with basically no recourse. Electoral college system is just silly as well and it should be 1 vote just as important as any other, not some states more powerful than others with such imbalance that the loser can receive 3 million more votes!

The Xzibit strategy? Can't hurt to try.
Longer pls.
I imagine that goes for visas too.
Does this mean someone with a green card from, say, Brazil wouldn't be allowed reentry if they were coming from the banned countries?

Have you seen the republican reaction to this? Congress is not going to do anything about it.
I suspect the courts probably will though. Hopefully to the point that they issue a stay on the order extremely soon, so we don't have to wait for the case to be decided.

Customs generally are the world over (including some of the guys working on the way out customs for Manchester, for example). Only nice customs people I've ever met for going out and going in were the ones in Amsterdam, Japan (Osaka Airport) and Portugal. All of the other countries I've ever visited they've been funny about anything you're carrying that isn't a towel or clothes, some of them I can see why for security concerns, others just plain idiocy where they obviously get off on having "power" over others (sometimes happens to me, sometimes to people in front of me or just behind me). Unfortunately some of them honestly just do this for a living for that reason having "power" over you for about 5 minutes. It's so sad and pathetic.
Gives people time to actually travel there and maybe invite friends. Also gives time to spread the message.
The Women's March I think was planned for months.

Look, I understand the sentiment, but do you realize what you're suggesting? A violent coup isn't going to help anyone.

This is unclear. We would think it is if you're a citizen of that country holding their passport, but who the fuck knows.
Yes, at least based on the statement. How they passed this, I'll never know.

You guys are the best. You give me hope. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Because of you, I'm matching my own match and giving $150,000 to the @ACLU.

ACLU is gonna be making some damn good cash these next few days. Keep it up.

And you see the clusterfuck it's caused when he doesn't even tell the DHS and other federal departments about this stuff.

They didn't pass anything, he wrote an executive order

How exactly do you protest if you don't organize people? Do you know what a protest is?
The scary thing about this, is that this move will only fuel the fire of extremism, and then Trump can say: "See, we were right all along!"
Perfect. More terrorists more bombs and wars. It's Christmas for the military industrial complex

Wow. That is amazing. I hope more people with the serious bank accounts donate.

Not sure but it could mean that if some idiot from Brazil did something stupid and they institute a blanket ban, then yeah, any Brazilians, including greencard holders are fucked. It's a slippery slope.

Looks like this will be the first real test to see how the Republican legislature stands up to Trump.
Remember that no one rules alone. He is making enemies and those enemies are sharpening the knives.
And they're doing stuff with it too. They just filed suit against Trump's administration.

Good, people are rediscovering the power of protests and strikes.

Yeah this really demonstrates how much sheer damage could be done with an executive order. The process of blocking them happening after the fact opens up nasty possibilities when Literal Nazis are drafting the orders.
Chaos and sending a message is part of Bannon's game. The mosque in texas being burned, Trumpers and white nationalists the nation over cheering and becoming energized - even if the executive order is overruled tomorrow, a lot of the damage is done.
And having seen that it works, what is next?

This will escalate. There is no other way around this. SPECIALLY if Trump does not compromise
Well there it is.
It's amazing how much damage Trump has done in a single week. It's unbelievable really.

As lost as resistance remains strong, I think we may end up seeing Trump unwittingly empowering more liberal institutions such as the ACLU.

Set up a monthly donation to the ACLU. Hope to do more in the future.
I would not be surprised if any such liberal organizations will be removed at gunpoint eventually.

NYC is a liberal stronghold. We'd need to see elected people in the GOP or small towns in rural America to stand against him for this to be a goof.

Twitter thread for protests around the nation.
Not from the US, but this is the weirdest thing to me right now. These executive orders look like how the Weimar republic ended to me.
It sadly is, but in no other start in the west the President can circle jerk that much over everything. Other states have split in power for this very reason. The Congress seems at least concerned and half way think there might be something up.
