Yeah. Lawsuits already being brought by ACLU and a number of partner parties. Also I see that there is a vigil/protest going on at JFK, officially from 6-8 p.m. but people are already posting pics. Go yell your heart out if you’re in the area, for those of us who can’t, plz.

It is a pretty clear statement that sticks a big thumb in the eye of the law. All those mofos on my FB going on about how oh it’s simple, this is an issue of legality. If immigrants were legal that they’re fine. Well clearly that doesn’t matter. So neither does the law, which is apparently now subordinate to…

You know, I had kinda sorta remembered something like this from the bush and early obama years and NYTimes just ran something about how we tried to do this a mere 10 years ago on a short portion of the border and it was thwarted by technical problems. Only 10 years ago.  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/28/business/mexi…

You are correct to worry since people are reporting that it’s already happening http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/01/28/travelers_with_valid_visas_turned_away_at_airports_after_trump_order.html

Hope you and yours are ok and everyone is getting the help they need.

He should tell that to all the victims of the tornadoes in Mississippi who are still waiting for FEMA from an agency that doesn’t even have a director.

same. I’m worried about my peeps and society. everybody is like aren’t you glad you’re not in merka and I’m like yes and no. how can I protect them??

and fuck the people who didn’t vote at all.

The key is to fight to ensure that we remain “lucky”. I guess. Or try.

Spain. In the Basque Country.

You’re right. Detaining people without them knowing what is going on for a long time is psychologically manipulative. I live in a part of Europe where it is legal to detain people for up to 2 years without charge. My husband’s cousin was held for 2 years that way. He never committed a crime-he just associated with the…

And Pruitt, yo. Yeah, I don’t know, I really don’t know.

Well, I guess if no aid comes http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/officials-beg-trump-send-help-after-storms-kill-20-across-n711071

I have been chit-chatting people and it may be time to bring back the mutual aid society (i.e. go fund me but more so). Which is rarely as efficient or as broad-ranging as providing public services through a government entity, regardless of what people want to believe. I used to work for a food bank, and it was always…

In addition: IT’S NOT FREE, THOSE PEOPLE WITH PIERCINGS ALL PAY TAXES TOO. In some form or other. Criminy. Enough with the “free stuff” and acting as if taxpayers is just white guys. Dare I forget that the rest of our work doesn’t count...

I can’t go either but you can keep up on it and donate here http://standwithstandingrock.net/

A jillion people march and get no arrests since it was a big to-do with lots of white people. Fellow white people: ready to go to standing rock en masse? We can stay warm if there are enough of us.

The Soros thing cracks me up. I mean, the guy has bucks, but not enough to begin to fund all the protests going on all by himself, let alone all the other stuff they accuse him of. They can say “follow the money” all they want, but they apparently count on nobody doing any basic accountancy to think through whether…

I know what you mean but

Ijeoma Oluo, who writes really well about racial justice issues, made a bunch of videos yesterday about this. If you’re on FB you can check them out on her page. https://www.facebook.com/ijeoma.oluo
