“Since Trump’s order does not define what it means to be “from a country,” the order should be read to include “passport holders, citizens, nationals, dual nationals, etc.” “in an abundance of caution,” the statement added.”- from NBC, the statement is from the American Association of Immigration Lawyers.

Can anyone who knows more about these things speak more about the wording of the order? I’m reading on NBC that the language is incredibly vague, allowing for much leeway. Also, NBC is reporting that international students from other countries (Turkey, Jordan) have already been told that their visas have been revoked?…

The truly f-ed up part of this entirely f-ed up situation is it’s already so hard for people to be granted asylum. The bar is so high that even people who clearly will die if they remain in their home country are rejected... And this orange freak decides that the standards aren’t stringent enough? Holy hell.

I won’t deny that your friend could have been relying on prescription meds inappropriately. You know this person, I don’t. However, using meds during recovery to treat “chemical imbalances” is perfectly legit. Depending on what someone has been using, how much, and for how long withdrawal can be really drawn out and…

I know, that garbage is all over my newsfeed too.

Again, and for the last time, no one is trying to dehumanize or discount any group of victims. Saying that out of the 11 million the Nazis killed, 6 million were Jews takes nothing away from the gay victims, or the Communist victims, or the disabled victims of the Nazis in the same way that saying that how ever many…

Someone on reddit made the beautiful suggestion that Alec Baldwin should host a rival inauguration party in character and everyone should go to that party instead. DJT’s head would explode.

You’re still confusing the word holocaust with The Holocaust. As your source says, the word holocaust means basically mass slaughter while the term The Holocaust refers specifically to the mass slaughter of Jewish people under the Nazis. The Holocaust was named that because of the word holocaust. Does that make sense?

Yes, as I clearly stated many victims didn’t make it into the camps and we’re instead executed outside of the camps. You are right that it isn’t a war between victims. So why are you making it one? Your posts make it sound like you’re trying to make an #alllivesmatter argument. And AGAIN no one, including DonnaL, is…

I appreciate your... scholarship (?) if that’s the right word and all of your comments here on this subject. It was very interesting to read. And heartening to see someone who is so capable of defending herself (assuming you are female, otherwise my bad). Commenters like you are why I come to Jezebel regularly.

Ok, I get it, but I think DonnaL has made it pretty clear that she(?) isn’t discounting any of the victims. Just differentiating between victims based on where they died. Some were in POW camps, others in actual death camps, others never even made it to the camps and were subject to random executions, etc. Which is…

Mental defectives? Seriously?

I’m loving that new show Designated Survivor right now for similar reasons. I keep imagining that the plot of the show is basically what’s happening in our country right now and oddly it comforts me. Like, DJT’s presidency is some weird plot that will eventually be figured out and everyone involved will be removed…

Also, that was a long time ago. If you’re his age and you’re still bragging about where you went to college, you need to smack yourself upside the head and remember that all it means is that the school’s admissions committee and faculty saw promise in you forty some odd years ago. It has no bearing on who you are…

My dog actually has better health insurance than I do right now is the fucked up part.

He is a litigious carrot. And his friends are too.

Thank you. This is why I read Jezebel.

Did she always look like Tori Spelling or is this new?

Right but it’s just as likely that he’s referring to one of the other two sons from his marriage to Ivana to be honest.

Dog save us all.
