Sorry, Mr. President: The Obama Administration Did Nothing Similar to Your Immigration Ban
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The Koch brothers of all people are taking Trump to task over the immigration ban.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think it's got to help that this is immediately affecting academics, doctors, other "elites."

So much awful. Here's a site from a librarian at UW (who a couple of us know well) that is collecting documents/readings, etc., on presidential power: [link]

All of Homeland Security can't be batshit crazy.
Ahem.
I suspect that the confusion comes from the fact there was no coordination, and it was implemented late Friday, so the people who provide guidance weren't available. And, of course, there are assholes in CBP, and in the WH.
But I have no idea what's going to happen next.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I cannot possibly believe that calling Ted Cruz and John Cornyn will do anything, but I guess I have to try.

I have no faith in them. We need Republicansome to break ranks and for Dems to hold strong. I don't know if that can happen.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Dana, thank you for calling them. I cannot call from work. I need to try and remember to leave for lunch each day just to make calls.

My Rep is also a toad. Sigh. I mean, I'm not surprised, but. I'm vacillating between panic attacks and depression. (Metaphorically. Mostly.)

I called Rep. Matt Meadows his DC person was nit as nice as the local person but I can't find the local number.
I checked his FB page he's for the wall and was at the pro life March. Tomorrow I'm going to try and call again and say that I hope his pro life stance means he will support the ACA.
