NYT: Refugees and immigrants being detained at US airports right now.

Personally I think Bannon wants protestors to either give up or cross the line so he can keep them from protesting by point at their violent/destructive acts.

Then he can clamp down and either arrest you or you will be quiet.

Trump " What is happening in New York? look at what's happening in New York!"

Signed up for recurring $15 monthly donation to the ACLU. I'd do more, but it's all I can afford right now. But hey, as far as protecting civil liberties go, I'm happy to be able to donate anything.

Waiting for Trump to go on Twitter and come off with a Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men rant...."All you people did today was weaken a nation."

He really is Nicholson's character in that movie.

Just tried to donate to the ACLU but the site is giving me an error when I submit my payment information. Anyone else from Canada having an issue?
 
Small victory tonight but we need to keep fighting. The NSC news is alarming and we gotta do something about that.

Proud of everyone that came out tonight to support us brown folks. Thank you 🙏

Any way to help these people?

People from banned countries that sold their entire lives to move that were turned away. Took their kids out of school, quit their jobs, sold their houses, sold their businesses for the land of opportunity. People that have nothing to go back to. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I was sharing the news about the court decision when my dad hops on my face book feed and asks, "what about Obama's ban of Iraqi's in 2011?"

I'm sick of people trying to scapegoat everything on our former President.

I'm wondering if they pulled this because they became overconfident in their perception of the combined apathy and stupidity of the America population. This, at face value, was waay too stupid of a move.

We were wrong. Trump isn't Putin's puppet, he's Bannon's puppet. That's one hundred times more terrifying, my God. A white supremacist has full control of the most powerful office in the world.
He's a puppet of both, which is even worse.
I would contend that Trump is Bannon's puppet but Putin facilitated Trump's election in the first place and has trusted agents in places of power in the form of Tillerson and Flynn and they're the ones that compromised Comey.

But most of the mess of the presidency's first 9 days has been Bannon's corrupt policy and Trump's over-inflated ego and self-sabotage.

No. Trump-Bannon just don't care. They think they have all the power and they can do what they want. In the US or on the global stage.

They will try to do everything they said they would. And they will try to do it fast.

These weeks are the most important ones to resist

And to think if they had staggered this stuff out over the next few years, they would've probably had a better go of it

That seems to be the right wing talking point.

I'd suggest asking these people if they're proud of Obama safeguarding us from Islamic terrorism back in 2011 then. I'm curious if they'll find a way to weasel out of that, or if their heads will explode.

3am eastern time maybe?

I forget it. It's actually him if the tweet is from an Android device right?
Remember when his Twitter handle links to a Gmail account?

Most probably he doesn't tweet himself, but dictates it to his PA who is managing the Twitter account (and links it to his or her email for managing)

That said, when he manages to get a hold of the PA and dictate the shit out of the situation to his or her face.

Unfortunately my dad is politically agnostic enough to weasel his way out, he would say it wasn't right then or now, but shame on me for not doing enough back then. Even though it wasn't reported by the press until later.
