It's been just over a week, and what a week. Amazing. So good. The best.

Everybody in NYC area-- head to JFK Terminal 4 NOW! Big anti-Trump protest forming out of nowhere! Ppl mobilizing against Trump's Muslim ban

She knew it was happening, is why she's silent.

whoops. x-post. Yeah. I suspect this is going to be very very ugly. Someone is on Twitter asking for solicitors to respond urgently to JFK.

I think May will have to make a statement tomorrow. She can't seriously think she can continue to say nothing when some of her own MPs are saying they could no longer travel to the US.

May is a disgrace. Miliband is of course, right to speak out, being Jewish. The Muslims are the current bogeymen, but it could be the Jews next.

I expect a statement will be dragged out of Downing Street like the one last week about the missile test, which she refused to answer.

Right, I'm going to bed. Looking forward to seeing what new madness greets me on the morning. Good luck to all those in the great US of A.

Mayor of NYC has waded into the fray, calling it shameful and deploying legal people to help.

Please don't say that Peregrina I am scared enough.

Pretty ironic that architect of Trump's refugees ban, Jared Kushner, is grandson of Holocaust refugees

I want to repeat: Green card holders were handcuffed, their social media was reviewed, and they were asked their views on Trump

American Union of Civil Liberties

They're funding the lawyers to represent people detained at airports - worth donating to? (Don't be put off by the default huge sums of money - you can donate "other" amounts if like me you're a bit strapped for cash at the end of the month).

Holy fuck.

#BREAKING Trump says immigration ban ‘working out very nicely’ as protests, dozens of detainments hit airports

Just a placemark from me. It's horrifying. I feel like I need a stiff drink every time I look at social media/the news/the press.

Someone has pointed out that Mo Farah will be banned as well then?

A leading young Iranian scientist had been awarded a fellowship to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard. Banned.

Ah I've found you. Really great. Yuge. No one loves this thread more than me. No one.

Someone has pointed out that Mo Farah will be banned as well then

Sir Mo Farah...I guess being a Knight makes him one of the elite as far as Trump is concerned

Wikipedia is quick

Travel security

In 2012–2013, Farah intimated that he had been stopped a number of times by U.S. Customs officials under suspicion of being a terrorist, which he attributed to confusion between his full name "Mohamed" and a computerized check-in process.[143] On one occasion after the 2012 Olympics, he asserted that he had attempted to prove his identity by showing his Olympic gold medals to customs officials, but that this was not accepted.[144]

Due to Farah's dual Somalian citizenship, he is currently banned from entering the United States due to Donald Trump's executive order "Protecting the Nation From Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals".[145]

JFK is apparently filling up quite nicely with protesters.

And a LOT of journalists/news media are pointing out the deafening silence from number 10.

Marking

I work in local government and have to write to various MPs, often. I always get an acknowledgement and then a formal response.

I will write to my MP tomorrow as, member of the general public Barchester, it will be interesting to see if I get the same treatment.

I was only saying to DH today - ™ (not trademark!) is quite inexperienced really. She will be relying on her advisors, I think she hasn't spoken because she needs advice - not an excuse, but a reality.

I bet Isis are pissing themselves laughing at him. Like this would actually stop them.

The London Mayor would be banned also.

Really? I don't know his background very well. Was unaware of that.
