your midnight sun

Today on 1/27/17 Trump closed America’s doors to refugees, indefinitely, banned immigrants from several countries, suspended the Visa program, and effectively left untold numbers of people stranded–including those with Green Cards and especially those with no where else to turn who had already been approved to come here.

It is not a ban purely on Muslims, just on specific (majority Muslim) countries, so there’s a chance it could hold up in court.

He signed this executive order on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even if he didn’t understand the significance of that, I have no doubt Bannon and the other nazis on his staff did. 

This is monstrous.

I’m sorry, but I have to tell this:

If many of you don’t know, here in Chile a catastrophe is happening. We are living the worst wildfire in all our history. The fire started on January 17-18 approx. in the sixth region (Región de O’Higgins) and it’s present in three regions now.

Last night a whole town (Santa Olga) was destroyed by the fire. The Fireman Stations are having a hard time going to the critical focuses. The police and Forest Fire brigades are doing as much as they can, and even more.

The government is receiving international help from numerous countries (Russia is going to send an special aeroplane to fight to fire.

I lived the 2010 earthquake and this situation is as devastating as that natural disaster. The TV and radio stations are broadcasting live and it’s too sad to see the images, and listening the reports of the situation.

Please, if you are reading this and you believe in God, I beg you to pray for Chile.

“From the first fleet to the last raindrop, we will fight.”

That’s less than 50 years ago.

The legal recognition of Aboriginal humanity in Australia is younger than my father, and that generation still holds the reins of power today.

anyone who watched the dumpster fire of a speech trump held at CIA’s headquarters on jan. 21 might be perplexed as to how trump managed to draw applause and laughter from a crowd of CIA agents, after literally spending the whole speech (which, btw, took place in front of a memorial for fallen CIA agents, against the CIA’s will) whining about the size of his inauguration crowd, attacking the media, and openly suggesting he may start another iraq war just to steal their oil [x]

well it turns out the clapping and laughter we heard did not come from the CIA agents (who were deeply offended by the whole thing), but instead from trump’s own people, who were there to cheer him on and create an illusion of popularity and support within the CIA (who is currently investigating trump’s ties with russia) [x] [x]

he also did this at a press conference earlier in january [x]
