I saw this earlier. This is a direct move to get rid of the protestors. DIRECT. Police will instigate excessive force or will claim the person is resisting and will arrest people en masse.

Kelly, Trump and the rest are really looking exxhausted and overwhelmed.
This isn’t the place for it, sorry, but today’s executive orders are genuinely scary. Sounds like Cheetolini is inching closer to a police state. & most police are already militarized. This is a nightmare.
To me it is such a sexist vestigial remain. Like, she wasn’t elected, she isn’t getting paid for the position, but she is still expected to do a whole bunch of work because her husband is President. And people threw a shit-fit when Michelle Obama commented that there should be some kind of compensation for the First…
Trump is reported to care excessively about the appearance of his staffers.
Also it goes to show the conflict of interest.. the president should have NO say in what a non government company does or does not do with its business.. but the fact that he feels the need to comment just further makes the argument that trump is never far from his businesses (or those nominally under his brood)
because it might give them pause for a second and make them consider who the fuck they have actually become.
They want a war...
Whiteness is ALL THEY HAVE! Sad.
Have you read any Octavia Butler?? She’s my other favorite feminist sci fi writer.
hi!!!! sounds like our reading preferences are very similar... Have you read any of Neal Stephenson’s books? Snowcrash or The Diamond Age?
Looks like that NYT story and all of the President Bannon talk has officially gotten under Cheeto’s skin.
The chilling bit is that if Chomsky said it, it would be because he abhors murder, whereas Trump says it like a verbal shrug. It’s as if he expects to be dabbling in a bit of murder himself quite shortly.
I would like to know what’s going to happen to the government departments and workers that are defying the Supreme Court’s rulings and enforcing the ban anyway? If memory serves, for several days after the first ruling, they were ignoring it and continuing to detain passengers and turn people around, denying them…
They’ve enacted this Muslim ban knowing full well that it would be unenforceable but they didn’t care because they knew (rightfully) that it would be the only thing we talk about for a week. That way nobody pays much attention to all of the other horrible shit they’re doing like gutting Dodd-Frank, getting back to…
It’s funny how abortion is such a dirty little secret. I had one over 20 years ago, and I’ve never told anyone. I guess I’m afraid of being judged, or having someone scream at me about “killing my baby.” I’ve never had children, either, so I feel like people might be extra judge-y for some reason.
It’s normal. It shows the market test went better than expected and they now know they can get away with flat-out saying, “We gave you little people your Muslim ban and your anti-abortion crumbs. Now it’s business as usual for billionaires.”
