Another day and another broken heart wondering how this country has become so disgusting.

What is next,will this monster be allowed to simply ban our global brothers and sisters simply because he is pissed at their countrys leader?

our rights are being taken away, little by little. It's indeed heartbreaking and frustrating.

8. Waiting until 2019 is closing the barn door after

the horses have all escaped. Every single day he is allowed to remain in office is another chance to knock another leg out from under our Democracy. He has so undermined everything we want our country to be, waiting until 2019 will be the final blow. In truth, knowing what was already known about the 2016 election (and the hijacking of the election) he should not have been allowed to be inaugurated. But he was and this is where we are. I fear this situation will not turn out good for any of us regular people. The tRumps and his people will make out like bandits.

I just feel like I cannot believe what is happening in front of my eyes - it's like a runaway train wrecking everything along its path and I feel completely powerless to stop it.

I am feeling pretty low today. After hearing the Court’s ruling on the Travel Ban, I am feeling especially bad. I have no idea what can be done. And it feels really sad to see no way out. 😢

drift toward fascism tooth and nail! A few speak up or tweet here and there, but I don't really see THE PARTY launching an all out assault on those who are destroying our freedoms in this country. They just aren't bold enough!

This isn't new. Look at our previous immigration policies around the Irish or the Chinese. Look at what we did to Africans, what we did to native populations.

I'm not sure why people are treating this as something unprecedented. It sucks and we should be better, but it isn't new.
