So, I mean, what's the next step? If the DHS doesn't abide by the court's decision, who enforces that? Who should we be putting pressure on now?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm tempted to just make a sockpuppet Twitter account and correct assholes' grammar. I know it would accomplish nothing, but it's something I can do! And it would make me feel better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can't seem to wear colors anymore, and I actually bought a whole bunch of black clothes, because everytime I go to put on one of my colorful joyful dresses, I just can't.
Very Wishverse. I am wearing more greys and blacks myself, although some days I actively choose to dress optimistically

Can the whole administration be impeached? Checks and balances gotta happen somehow. Right?

US Marshalls enforce Federal Judicial orders. I don't think we want to see an armed stand off between US Marshalls and Dept. of Homeland Security officers.
But I think mostly, Trump's order was so ill written, and poorly conceived, and uncommunicated that it has caused complete chaos as to what various agencies should do.
So, Bannon, is basically Wormtonguing away at Trump and pushed this order out. And Bannon - who avowedly wants to destroy the entire government - is probably enjoying the chaos.

OK, don't want an armed standoff, but how about a jurisdictional dispute where the DHS backs the hell off like sensible people? Can we hope for that? All of Homeland Security can't be batshit crazy.

There were airport protests in Birmingham. They have no international flights.

I am not going to detail my accomplishments for the day because it would be embarrassing to admit what needed (and still needs) doing, but I am satisfied with my progress in unfucking my habitat today.
