I can’t decide if I regret watching all of black mirror or thrilled so at least I know what’s coming.

Yeah we really gave them the short end of the stick at Versailles (the fact that they were featured as prominently as they were caused a bit of a scandal) TR tried to give them a decent deal at the end of the 05 war but the European powers would never respect them.

It’s not widely known, but in 1906 there was an international incident that precipitated the Gentleman’s Agreement and caused significant harm to Japanese-American relations for the next 3 decades.

in addition to its restrictions on Asian immigrants, the act also excluded “convicted criminals, chronic alcoholics, and people with contagious diseases, but also people with epilepsy, anarchists, most people who couldn’t read,” and anyone deemed likely to “become a public charge.”

Surprised to see Wilson not being a racist asshole in that statement to be honest.

Nazi Bannon has been very clear about why he is “all for them being in the White House”: because Trump is a means to an end for him. Trump got Nazi Bannon where he wants to be. “Trump is a ‘blunt instrument for us,’ Bannon told Ken Stern for Vanity Fair last summer. ‘I don’t know whether he really gets it or not.’”…

You’re aware that the actual literal Nazis worked with Jews in the beginning, right. It didn’t work out so well for the Jews, but it worked out fine for the Nazis.

I’d say Pelosi’s assessment is right on. Bannon respects 2 things: money and power. His support for the alt-right and white nationalist movements has elevated him. The mere fact that he gives it voice and uses it to his benefit makes their agenda his agenda. The fact that he’s allowed it to scurry out of the…

Money makes strange bed-fellows.

You fall into that old classic in which you assume the state of Israel is synonymous with being Jewish. You guys are the same people who conflate any criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism. You’re wrong during those arguments and you’re wrong in your reply. There are plenty of people of Jewish heritage…

These people are the real heroes right now and Jesus Christ Amighty God I don’t believe in, our heroes are the lawyers now.

This is truly Strange Days.

But seriously, the fact that these folks are putting in the hours that they are on a volunteer basis, trying to help these poor people...they really are laying it on the…

Hassan Minhaj did a great bit like that on the daily show.

I believe Beyoncé is pregnant with twins. I also believe that Blue was born via surrogate.

Awww, I am seriously hoping the protests are helping change the image of America worldwide, because it is the only hope we have of keeping us safe.

That’s what I’m wondering, too. At what point is the president -actually- held accountable for anything? We’ve (ugh) elected a man who thinks he is untouchable, and has insulated himself with people who will do everything they can to let him run amok. If the republicans aren’t willing to stand up against him, the dems…

I thought this was very heartwarming. The protests are working to change America’s image.

Thank you for what you are doing!!!

You’re too kind. I’ve been practicing self-care, don’t worry! Last night I got to just turn off my email and watch The Great British Bake-Off. And things are quieting down now that we’ve taken the first steps on our end to do something (can’t say more for obvious reasons).

I’ve been thinking about you during this whole mess. Thanks for keeping up the fight. Remember to sleep and hydrate — we’re going to need you for the long haul!

Lee Gelernt is a cool dude and the ACLU’s Immigrants Rights Project is awesome and deserves all of your support (along with all the other orgs that have filed lawsuits this week fighting the executive order, which includes, in alphabetical order, the American Immigration Council, the Legal Aid Justice Center, the Natio…
