This is for you cream because I am too tired and fed up of repeating myself to explain. This article can educate you about the difference. Enjoy!

Thank you to those of you attending rallies. We are all part of one world. A bigly world, the Yugest world!

Hands Across the Water. (We really need a hand-hold emoji, if we can promise to use it correctly and not in an un-MNetty soppy way)

*All I've seen elsewhere is 'whataboutery' - what about Jews not being allowed to various Middle Eastern countries? Where's the protest?

That's wrong - places should not discriminate against other people.

But 2 wrongs don't make a right. America is just better than this. We are better than this.*

I basically said the same thing (phrased as more wrongs dont make it right) in response to a fb comment about how the 7 banned countries dont allow in Israel. The response 'you (deejoda) are a future terrorist'. I didnt engage the eejit!
As a muslim black African woman, I am so distressed by Trump and the many racist, sexist islamophobic his presense has encouraged to spew out their hatred. No way this is going to end well. Hatred fosters hatred and I can imagine even more moderate muslims being radicalised by all the hate coming at them. Like so many have posted previously, this is all playing into the narrative of ISIS and other extremist groups. I am so scared, especially for my 10mo DD...why did I bring her into this crazy world?Sad

I guess the whole business of Trump saying they are just extending Obama's policies had curved him to come out and defend himself. I hope he gets stuck in now!

It also reflects his opinion (hope?) that America will survive Trump because of the American people.

Watching the debate on BBC Parliament. Stella Creasy was especially good.

Yes to Liz Roberts that we should not cow tow

I couldn't watch Angry Spice as ... well, he just angers me. Lies. All of it. And complete smug dismissal of anyone else's "inconvenience." Fucker.

amispartacus · 30/01/2017 19:49

Fucking Daily Mail - they were more than happy to say it was someone saying Allu Akbar when they thought it was a Moroccan involved.

Now - no comments and they have said it was a lone wolf Canadian.

They are a massive part of the problem

I love Michael Rosen. He is awesome Grin

GingerIvy · 30/01/2017 19:50

Will Trump ban Canadians now? Will he fuck.

GingerIvy · 30/01/2017 19:51

Badgers me too. He's well worth following on Twitter.

Tonight, Canadians grieve for those killed in a cowardly attack on a mosque in Quebec City. My thoughts are with victims & their families.

So to be clear, Trump is afraid of five-year brown people but fine w 63 year-old nazis IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

The Daily Mail seemed more than happy to imply it was a Muslim. That was in their headline.

That is the issue. It's all nudge nudge dog whistle.

Yes ginger ... a red mist descended when a journo asked about all the other hundreds of people stuck at airports round th world because they are in transit. Which he would NOT answer, kept going on about the 108 in the US or however many.

At that point I wanted to give him a knuckle sandwich

BigBadgers · 30/01/2017 19:54

I noticed that Ami. I was shouting at the radio when the BBC was reporting two people had been held one Moroccan , but only one was being charged, but they didn't know which one. Even I could read on Twitter in was not the Moroccan. It sounds like he called the police on the other guy and is a witness. Yet he immediately get accused for his trouble. Angry

I hope May notices that a lot of Tories are speaking. She has a narrow majority.
