I got home late today because if a birthday. I am kinda shocked by what I am seeing over in America. A disgusting display by the current administration. I am glad to see though that there are already lots of people standing up against this. You guys will have to do this a lot from now on.

The Post has been live streaming from Dulles International Airport, outside of DC, where there is a large protest happening.

Canadian here, been following this all day - Just want to voice my support to all of you. It's incredible to see these protests. I've never really felt an urge to join a protest in person before like I have today.
I wonder if protests will start popping up here, I hope so. I've never felt the urge to march before - but this whole situation is insane.
Keep up the fight, friends. It looks like the world is with you.

- Bob Casey (PA) as well
I know Senator Bob Casey is at Philadelphia's airport right now, there's a protest there right now.
He's come from some fancy event, he's in a full tux with tails

That's exactly what BronzeWolf just gave you.
Just did, just for this. Not going to use it for anything else. Except future matches or whatever. Hopefully that's an additional $2500 in their coffers from those tweets.
Mattis must be fucking livid.

My understanding is the Obama did so with direct intelligence of threat, worked with various departments to do so, and it wasn't a blanket ban.

Exactly. Let them own this shit and wallow in it.
www.aclu.org is the correct website yes? I want to make sure I'm donating the money to the right place.
Heard by whom? The same people that are protesting?
Politics is about mobilizing your electorate but also agregating voters from other side. Just talking to yourself and your friends is exactly what Trump is searching for : creating chaos from the conflict, and winning over that political mayhem. You have to talk to everyone (or almost everyone, ofc some people won't change their mind). That's how national-populists are gaining shares of the electorate in Europe : they talk to everyone, including people from the far-left and center. And guess what, that's what works.
Congrats America. You are now living in a dictatorship.

Reposting for new page. If anyone knows any more matches, please add them to the list and re-quote. Make your donations have a much greater impact with a simple tweet.

Just wait for the first time The Great Cheeto comes up to visit the PM. If you're anywhere near Ottawa, go to town. No doubt it will be massive.

Why does CNN continue to give a voice to Trumps people? Fucking cut them off! He called your organization fake new! Nut the fuck up already.

Goddamn, no matter how many times this country has knocked him down he's always on the front line to better it.
If people are wondering, this is what the Trumpkin shitposters are pointing to when they say Obama set the precedent for this,

Seems pretty confirmed now. I've seen numerous reports of this, and in general of just looking like the bill didn't have that oversight (references wrong immigration law)
This whole thing scares the fuck out of me. Not only is it evil policy, and it's bad policy, it's also implemented as recklessly as it possibly can be. What the fuck happens when we really need our government to have their shit together even moreso? What happens with a major tragedy or national security crisis.

And the Democrats are smart to stay out of it. Just let the citizens of the U.S. handle it.

Not one of the finer moments of the Obama administration and was reported on and justly criticized by the same left wing elites who allegedly celebrated it (alternative facts ya'll), but also sufficiently different from this that anyone using it to level charges of hypocrisy is being intellectually dishonest.

AirBnB is providing free housing for refugees.

Even posts on the_donald subreddit are wondering what's up with that. We obviously know why, but they're still in denial.

Why ask instead of simply looking them up yourself? Is googling so hard?
Nice. To be clear (if anyone was wondering) I wasn't insinuating that Bernie would stay silent, only that at the time I looked it up there was nothing. Of course Twitter isn't everything.

I know. Stop the fair and balanced shit. That ended long ago. Don't let Bannon tell you to shut your mouth and listen.
I don't get it. Those people are either detained or on their way back?
Yes.

Stay is Granted Nationwide!!!!
Judge Donnelly "The stay is granted!"
4 factors have been met: Irreparable harm established, likelihood of success on merits, no harm to govt. Likelihood of class cert.
Judge: "Class is pretty well defined as outline in the papers - otherwise would be reviewing stays for a hundred people" so stay is national
