[pinboy3niner]

17. MSNBC on-scene reporter just said the crowd has now doubled again. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

18. Excellent!

In addition to being unconstitutional, the rollout of this mess has been--well, a mess:

President Trump’s executive order barring refugees and migrants from predominantly Muslim countries from entry into the United States rippled across the world on Saturday, causing widespread confusion, triggering outrage among immigrant advocates and leading to the detention at U.S. airports of people flying into the country.

In addition to blocking all entries from seven countries, including business people, students and others, the ban is also being applied to U.S. legal residents from those nations — so-called green card holders — who were traveling abroad at the time the order was signed, federal officials said Saturday.
(snip)
“If you’ve been living in the United States for 15 years and you own a business and your family is here, will you be granted a waiver? I’m assuming yes, but we are working that out,’’ said one official, who could not be more specific because details of the possible waivers remained cloudy, as did many other details of how the ban will be enforced.

Legal, illegal, what's the difference? It's like the Keystone Cops, only this isn't funny.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

19. People need to surround the Rayburn House Office Building in DC

Don't let those fuckers out until they grow some balls and stop the orange maniac.

[red dog 1]

20. K&R

It's this type of spontaneous activism that gives me hope!

I hope it spreads to airports all across America.

[Tatiana]

21. Amazing! RESIST!

This seriously gives me hope. And I've been feeling quite awful about the direction in which this country is headed, of late.

[scarletlib]

22. Thanks to all you bold citizens!

Standing up for the Constitution and the Rights of the People.

[democrank]

23. Bannon is probably working on an anti-protesting executive order

RESIST!

[linnknee]

25. PROUD OF ALL OF YOU

Makes me feel a little better when I see my fellow citizens coming out. I will always be out in Houston and anywhere else I can be. Have a wonderful weekend and Best Wishes to you'all.

[LisaM]

26. MSNBC is showing it live.

I can't find it anywhete else.

[Ligyron]

27. YES! Here we go...

This is what makes America Great, again.

[democrank]

28. Kick

[get the red out]

30. Executive order

Do you think he will try to write an executive order to outlaw protesting? He doesn't give a damn about the Constitution and the GOP doesn't care that he doesn't.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. Yes

but that would head to the courts fast

[erronis]

61. Easy. Ban posting on twitter except by the Fearless Twit-in-Chief!

We can all sit around waiting for the latest abhorrence that is pounded by his pudgy little fingers.

Meanwhile the men from KGB/FSB can continue dismantling the government preparing for a semi-peaceful turnover.

[George II]

31. Makes me proud to be a native New Yorker (even though trump is, too!)

[bucolic_frolic]

32. Once protesting becomes the new latte

and people protest instead of buying frivolous things

Washington might start to pay attention

Glad to see the lawsuits have begun!

[suffragette]

34. People were wondering what would happen after women's march. This- People standing in solidarity

Against the hateful dictates of Trump's regime.

K&R

[SeattleVet]

38. Well, he *did* want a wall...

but he probably didn't expect this wall of peaceful, patriotic, loyal Americans standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition to him and his misbegotten policies.

You wanted a wall, Mr. tRump? Well, now you've got one; it's a wall made up of worldwide elements of decent humanity standing solidly against you. Now, the only question is, "How are *YOU* going to pay for it?"

[suffragette]

41. Yes, indeed. You should post this as an OP.

[SeattleVet]

44. Wasn't an original idea...

I read an article a few days ago about how we have become a solid wall of resistance against him (or, should that be 'Him'?). Mine was a very poor paraphrase of a much longer article. Wish I remembered where I saw it!

[tblue37]

57. Remember the Trump bikers who wanted to be a "meat wall" to defend Trump?

Well, suckers, THIS is what a proper meat wall looks like!

[suffragette]

58. Hmm, how about conscience wall? I like that there's thought and soul in it, as well

As bodies, same as the march again!

[tblue37]

59. I was riffing on the specific words of the Bikers for Trump. They called themselves a

meat wall to protect Trump from protestors.

[bdamomma]

35. our allies in

Europe are not too happy with this idiot.

Where is Congress in all this shouldn't this warrant a emergency session of a meeting???

[mainer]

36. wish I could be there. Or aid in their comfort and support.

If I could, I'd send them a thousand pizzas.

[fleabiscuit]

55. Excellent!

[sagetea]

56. Was at a

#standwithstandingrock march today, in Boise, Id. a speaker told us to close our eyes and think on who a hero is. I was thinking, of course, MLK and Gandhi, when she told us to open our eyes, there were mirrors then she said these are today's heroes! It was very inspiring! All of them there and at the other airports around the country and at capitals are all heroes!


Ho'
