As long as this continues, I will always bring this up:

Holy fucking God Almighty, you have no idea the anger running through my system right now. Rae Kushner is from an Eastern European town that isn’t that far away from where my family lived at that time. A quick internet search shows that her family may have been murdered in the same massacre as my own family, and may…

Not resisting is important. So, I’m not in the US but I have been a part of many rallies etc and this is advice I was given and passed on to everyone I have ever known wrt police and political action.

I made a donation to the ACLU this morning. That was the first political donation I have ever made.

God, it is sad the Red Scare-era quotes are still so relevant, but:

Welcome to 1930's Germany, except Muslims are the target instead of Jews. I still can’t believe this is our new reality.

Somewhat unamusingly, an edict came down from our airline management via email about this. They were going to start holding the flight crews accountable for anyone who got on board who was turned away from the USA (it costs the airline an enormous amount of money when this happens.)

There is a claim that green card holders are being cuffed and their social media reviewed. They are being questioned about their attitudes toward Trump.

I’ve never heard of a single person being looked down upon for nationalistic purchasing decisions. “Made in the USA” is a selling point for a reason. From a car standpoint, foreign cars were superior for a long time. I don’t think that’s necessarily true for most segments these days, but there’s still a bit of a…

Totally beat me to it. I could have shipped my F150 when I moved to Japan, I didn’t. Why? Because what the hell do you do with a 19 foot long half ton on these skinny road, my GT-R feels wide as hell on a lot of them....not being able to park...well anywhere...is just the icing on the cake.

I cannot fault the Japanese for not buying US cars. They are often too big, especially pickups or SUVS or the quality is just not up to Japanese standards. I would take a Japanese made car over a US-made car any day. The exception might be Cadillac, but then again why not buy a Lexus. But then again I think the same…

Yeah well only about 18 months ago people were saying there’d never be a President worse than W. Bush and look what happened.

The funny thing is, she wasn’t being rude or snarky at all. She was just politely and matter-of-factly informing us that our information, as far as she knew, was irrelevant to her.

I used to volunteer a lot for Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles, and much of that was “community outreach” — going to communities that had a clinic and passing out information about the services it offered. The very first time I did one of those, I had what remains the most rewarding and simultaneously most…

“We look to have a great relationship with all countries, ideally, unfortunately that won’t necessarily happen, unfortunately probably won’t happen with many countries, but if we could have as we do with Prime Minister May, and the relationship we’ve all developed, and even the short relationship that we’ve just…

Hello! As a former Hill person, two things:

So did I, but we tried to cross-reference everything we could find here. While trying to confirm that (I wanted to make sure, as the Golf it’s based on is built in Mexico), I learned that as of 2015 the GTI is built in Mexico as well.

This is news that directly concerns the automotive industry. And no, not by any objective measure would a wall/tariffs/anything at all be worth it.
