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

Demonstrations at LAX, San Francisco, Chicago Ohare, and still at JFK. Not sure where else.

Oh yes, Dallas Fort Worth.

Tom Watson is calling for Britons to 'keep an open mind' over Trump

I don't need to keep an open mind about fascists, thanks very much.

And I bet there are loads of people in the UK who agree with him too...
I bet on MN too, but I am only looking at this and one other thread.

Swedish foreign ministry.

Deeply concerned about US decision not to allow entry of people from certain countries. Creates mistrust between people.

Ami after he said that the voting for Hillary was illegal because of people being registered in dual states, didn't they show that most of his family/close circle were doubly registered?

I still find it strange that the US has it in law that the president has to be a Christian and can't be any other religion, or I'm guessing an atheist. If any politician over here mentioned God/Allah/Winnie the Pooh etc they would be pulled up on it.

Jesus, "I have returned!"
Trump, "Hey, Pence! Check out this guy with the beard and brown skin. What country you from?"
Jesus, "Forget it."

And yet we in America go on and on about the separation of church and state. It's a lie.

I just don't get how one crazy man can do this - no debate, no vote?

Dear Democratic leaders: We've got Twitter covered. Figure out what power you have as LAWMAKERS. That's why we elected you.

Just saw this tweet, don't know if it's true?

Did Trump really just close the subways that lead to JFK so nobody can go to Terminal 4 to protest his Muslim ban? #WTF?! RT

The videos of JFK are amazing. So many protesters. Everywhere.

Jesus, "Forget it."

Like the joke about God meeting a black man, crying on the pavement, outside a church:
"What's the matter, son?"
"They won't let me in."
" I have been trying for years and they won't let me in either."

Trump order: immigrants may be deported if thought to have committed a crime—needn't be convicted or even charged.

Tom Watson - really?!
Talk about misjudging the public mood!

So in the UK and US we have radicle extreme right wing governments acting against the national interests and no functioning, coordinated opposition.

Are any bits of Canada not too cold?!

I just don't get how one crazy man can do this - no debate, no vote?

It can be overturned, but it takes some time. I think by the Congress, or through the courts.

No probs: nice to reassure myself from time to time that my brain has not, in fact, atrophied entirely 😉 But yes, enduring collective guilt is sad - my British friend who grew up in Germany said that WW2 was shoehorned into almost everything at school (which was more than a little awkward for her) & with a hefty dose of We Must Ensure It Never Happens Again. Clearly, globally speaking, we all have that responsibility, but...

Trump's courses in Scotland are Turberry & Menie.

There's an app called Botcott Trump which lists businesses that support him, lots of which are international corporations.

I've tweeted my MP to ask her to publicly condemn Trump. In fairness, with the amount of abuse she's been getting for the Article 50 amendment she may well be off Twitter for a bit & I know she has an email backlog (not helped by people contacting her when it's Heidi Allen they want ) so...

Destinys - I've not seen that yet. If I see it verified anywhere, I post it.

weasle Canada's lovely, but yeah... cold in the winter, and generally snow.

just interviewed CA immigration lawyer representing 12 year old Yemeni girl w/ US citizen parents, blocked from boarding plane today:

When he gets shot, and it is a matter of time, it will be a woman like someone on here that does it. Not a man in a school book depository near a grassy knoll. He should be more scared of that than he is.

MTA website says subway is running as planned - there are planned engineering works going on & delays on some lines, but that's it. No weather-related or emergency closures.

Sorry, but this just made me laugh. You have to try to find humour somewhere, I suppose.

A massive investigation into voter fraud is like the Pentagon announcing they are focused on defeating the threat of the Borg.

Not sure if this link will work, was on Teitter, 'How to survive an authoritarian regime'

Boffin I figure it will be Melania. And I hope to god she is surrounded by Spartacuses, as despite appearances, I don't think she has it that easy.

ZebraOwl thanks for that.
