The executive has the power to enforce laws, not overrule them. That makes it a constitutional issue.

You can add this to your list of ammo when talking to these people: I have a student whose parents’ visas were cancelled. Now they won’t be able to come watch their daughter graduate. This brave, strong young woman left her home country, came to live in an entirely different culture for four years, studied in a second…

I don’t understand how this is the news I’m reading, but I talk to coworkers or racist friends and they moan that people were only “minimally inconvenienced” at airports. “There were waits of maybe a few hours” and everything else was “caused by protestors.”

I personally know two people who weren’t allowed to board…

There’s a slight hope they could be reinstated by the court,

Semantics can suck my dick.

““Fewer than 60,000 individuals’ visas were provisionally revoked to comply with the Executive Order,” said William Cocks of the State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs in an email to NBC News. “We recognize that those individuals are temporarily inconvenienced while we conduct our review under the Executive…

I still can’t believe that we lost President Obama at Bowling Green. It’s just unreal.

And you know those revocations are going to be permanent.

We gonna discuss this?

But some would say that revoking 100,000 visas is a small price to pay to prevent another Bowling Green Massacre, an event which was so tragic and horrible that it doesn’t even seem real...

The Trump administration is actively ignoring a court order to let people enter the US by claiming the “valid visas” the judge refers to don’t apply because they invalidated these visas due to the EO. Which is tendentious nonsense, and pure authoritarianism.

My understanding is that they did this just so that they could continue to turn people away at the border: if they can’t turn away people with valid visas, they just ensure that no one they want to turn away has a valid visa. The courts are NOT going to be impressed.

Our votes don’t count for anything because of the Electoral College system and the US House gerrymandering requiring many more Democratic votes that still secure a Republican House, and now we aren’t even able to speak to our “representatives” staffs. I know we aren’t the assholes who invoke “the Founders” and…

In the past week or so, I’ve gotten through twice and faxed once. I was polite to the staffer (who frankly sounded miserable). I just picked DeVos as the one issue on which to focus. I tried to appeal to his self serving nature by saying, “This isn’t a partisan issue. She is flat out unqualified. The Senator doesn’t…

State reps are supposed to be working FOR us- instead they’re locking their doors on these women and refusing to answer our calls. Let’s not forget this in 2018.

I haven’t been on Deadline in so long. It’s so stale. It may be too late for both the site and Nikke. We’ll see what she brings.

You know what National Defense Authorization Act also does? Removed that sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination in the U.S. Code, which could have potential consequences for victims of sexual harassment in the military.

I hope I don’t sound too presumptuous as I say this: It is so shitty when an awesome person doesn’t return your feelings. Especially when they’re so damn kind about it that you can’t even hate them, not even a little bit. But your heart will mend. I promise. Sometimes it may hurt- like a long-ago broken leg that has…

It will. He did it in the most perfect, gentlest way possible. He allowed me my hurt, told me that if I needed time away from him he would understand, and asked what I needed from him to hurt as little as possible. He’s a good man. He’s just not that into me, as it were. There’ll be someone else. Or there won’t.…

Well. Here is was ready to close out 2016 all bitter and cynical like and you had to go post this. THANKS A LOT, OBAMA.
