After the years long process of form filling, line sitting, and interviews that refugees go through and finally getting a destination for permanent relocation (in the U.S. and) an exact date for it, I made this piece of paper. And every day I crossed off another day off, counting down, and carried it everywhere. I don't like to keep things, but this a piece of paper I try to never lose. JFK was the airport of my initial arrival, and hi5 to everyone protesting there; you're great.
Sorry about the artifacting. I uploaded it to instagram, and I think those photos are supposed to only be displayed in those little frames.
Twitter comes out against the Muslim Ban. That'll make Trump's go-to method of reacting awkward.
There are also a LOT of replies asking Twitter to please just shut his account down, which would be awesome.
if they really wanted to show support they'd do something about all the Nazis that they allow to use their service. they verified Richard Spencer for fucks sake!

Man, Elki.
If you feel safe, you should probably get your story out there .. that's a powerful-ass image.

If white people don't hold other white people to account we have no hope for freedom
I just got into a fight with my mom who called me to stop posting on Facebook and to keep my head down
People who might be affected are scared and want to ride it out. She doesn't understand that there may be no riding this one out. This is the first salvo in a clear escalation.
@Hakkekage Yo, I'm scared for you right now. I just donated $5.00 to the ACLU, even though it's small I wanted to give something.
I'm sorry I came at you extra hard. I think it was mostly shock seeing that come from another WOC but I get where you were coming from.
Despite any differences we may have had in the past, now, or in the future, ultimately the goal is to push forward and resist this hateful shit.
We can do this together.
Also, without saying what I do exactly, holy shit is Monday going to be a nightmare.

That's not a scab move - thats company policy. whenever a major unrest happens be it prostest, natural disaster, etc. uber turns off surge pricing.
I dunno, I wouldn't be too pissed about this.
They did this during a taxi strike.
Like, uber being a dick would have left surge pricing on and charged 5-7x more than usual during the shortage of transit. They turned surge pricing off. And the company is publicly saying that Trump's law is shit and they are going to defend any drivers under threat from this.
Pick your battles, please.

This is good to hear. Im an uber driver and desprately need to save money to move to Sacramento. Not sure what Id do if put in the position that I felt I need to boycott uber.
The alternative for Uber is to automatically charge desperate travelers something like 5x normal pricing based on a heartless, profit-maximizing algorithm
It wasn't a greedy move to shut down the algorithm
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
The proper move would be Uber saying they stand in solidarity with the Cabbies and will also be blocking service to JFK
you know
since the protest worked for now
The protest scored a small concession. There are just as many people planning on coming to the US tomorrow as there were today whose lives are now thrown into utter bumfuckery. And the day after that. And the day after that. And the day after that.

oh totally agreed. We need to keep fighting every day. I wish there I was more I could personally do other than donate to ACLU and others, as a resident of a super liberal district in California. Replace Feinstein with someone cool I guess?
I'm surprised the executive director of the ACLU is not great at speaking to reporters about civil-rights cases and also doesn't know what to do with his hands

At least force him to use POTUS.
Weird question: if you get deported, do you have to pay for your transit?

ban his account
then ban potus for a banned user using an alt account
If not immediately, then in the long-run.
I'm pretty sure if you are refused entry to a country you must pay for the flight back.
Fuck...
It's a start
Uber responded like scabs and lowered their prices to try and profit off of others standing up to fascism
I deleted my uber account, which I used a lot

The only uber driver I know of is Spool..

I agree. I know how it comes off, but I would think they would be doing this to help people get out if they need to. Like a contingency plan.

Mayor of Boston calling on people to protest at Copley Square 1PM tomorrow
