Conway cites San Bernardino, Orlando and Boston attackers to defend EO. None of them would have been stopped by current ban.

Next Friday is the traditional prayer service in Mosques. I fear the images that will come out of them.

There was a picture earlier at one of the airports where some Muslims were praying while a group of protesters were in a big circle around them, making sure nobody interfered.

Just because sometimes even in the midst of horror we need a little smile here is Buzzfeed's insightful investigation into the rumour trump is afraid of stairs

Rumours that more people were detained again today. Solicitors still flat out trying to sort things.

Some state governors have stepped up to condemn this. That's definitely good.

Bannon's arm "Breitbart" News is calling the protests terror-tied groups causing chaos while Trump protects America.

Executive Order affects a minor portion of int’l travelers

Yes - it doesn't matter because there's not many. They're not us. They're not really British.

Turning a blind eye. It doesn't affect 'me' - it affects 'them'. So what are you worried about.

I read Sophie Scholl's autobiography. For those who don't know, she was a teenager during the Nazi years. Lots of talk about how Hitler came to power and what it was like in that country. She was one of the group who tried to resist by spreading information, facts through leaflets

She was arrested on 18th Feb 1943. Her trial was 22nd Feb 1943. Found guilty at 12pm. She was executed by guillotine 5 hours later.

There are many schools names after her in Germany. Mainland Europe has seen what hate and division can do.

Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did

Her last words:

How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action

Even your friends are deserting you, Trumpy.

Senate majority of 4, just 3 needed for the Democrats to overturn the EOs.

Harder in the House of Representatives: 24 to swap sides, but that represents 10% of the GOP Members.

How many of you signing this petition signed one to ban equally/more dangerous people from entering our country for a visit, such as Fadel Soliman who believes it is fine for women to be abused by their husbands...
