As we can continue down the spiral of tyranny that is turning America into a tire fire I can’t help but think of Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein who told people over and over that Clinton would just as bad if not worse then Trump. I seem to recall Sarandon actually saying she’d rather everyone vote for Trump.
This is perfectly normal behavior. He has every reason to fear being pushed down the stairs. There’s a big line of people waiting for the chance. And I am one of them
Being afraid of stairs and doorways is CLASSIC, well-documented dementia behavior.
To be fair, he has a point. If I saw him on a flight of stairs I’d push him the fuck down them too.
Some of my friends were at JFK all night last night drafting habeas petitions, or acting as legal observers for protests. They are true heroes. I am stuck inside working all day today on my normal legal work, or I’d be out protesting right now. (I’m not an immigration lawyer, but if I were, I would be at JFK right…
Thank goodness for these lawyers, who rushed to the scene in the hundreds and are doing everything they can. I hope every single one of these poor people get released soon.
Being asked your views on the American president as a prerequisite for entry??
I personally know a number of people who work for and volunteer with the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP). Along with the ACLU, they are at the heart of this fight. Not only do they serve wartime allies, but they work with the world’s most at-risk refugees, among them LGBTI refugees and unaccompanied…
I know a lot of people will say “so what, celebrities” etc etc but this is good. Celebrities are highly visible people and everyone needs to condemn this descent into autocracy.

Glad that Kim K’s posted that... I believe her audience is not political, or even republican, which means that she has a basis for educating them. Facts! They still exist.
It made me happy to see how many lawyers rushed to the airports to start doing pro-bono work for these people. And the protesters who came out to show the world that not everyone agrees with whatever 45 is doing.
For those who don’t think that they have a dog in this fight, remember this. Even if you are not from one of the affected countries, you should be aware of this arbitrary action, it could happen to you. In the nineteenth century it was Irish, Italians, etc., I have read that even Lou Gehrig (an American icon if there…
You know that moment you read about in history, where a maniacal and power-mad despot trampled all over the rights of human beings and you wondered where people were to stand against this tyranny?
This is what we need more of - workers going on strike to protest Trump and his abuses against the American people. We make the economy run, not the plutocrats - and from time to time, we need to remind them of that fact, and put the fear of God into them.
Three cheers for the New York Taxi Workers Alliance!
Uber drivers aren’t allowed to pickup at JFK. Big fine if they do
