Trump's Muslim roundups begin in spite of delayed executive order, emergency protests held in DC and NYC

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 01/25/2017 - 18:33

SURG-DC is reporting that arrests and deportations of US Muslims have already started. Visas are being revoked without warning. At any time Trump is expected to issue an executive order forbidding immigration by most or all Muslims, but he has not signed it yet. He already signed a decree (this is how he rules) to build a wall on the Mexica border. With the formal ban on Muslim immigrations still expected and roundups already starting, an emergency protest was held in DC on 15th st near the White House.

Trump announces plans to proceed with DAPL

Submitted by Luke on Tue, 01/24/2017 - 00:02

In one of his very first acts in office, Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer hinted Trump plans to proceed with the Dakota Access Pipeline. Shortly before 10PM on Jan 23, Trump's White House confirmed this plan. The Environmental Impact Statement process is now underway, buying time for the #NoDAPL campaign to target and drive away banks and investors funding the project. Trump will probably attempt to short-circuit this review with some kind of fast-track process.

Banners dropped over Beltway in Day 3 of Resistance to Trump's regime

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 01/22/2017 - 22:32

Jan 22 is Donald Chump's 3rd day in office and acts of resistance continue. On I-495 (Capitol Beltway) between Ga Ave and Connecticut Ave a pair of banners were dropped, one facing each direction. The banner facing the eastbound lanes reads "Love Trumps Hate" and a banner facing the westbound lanes reads "Dump Trump." Trump is already becoming extraordinarily dangerous. His neo-Nazi buddy Richard Spencer (who got punched during the Inauguration) is challenging Trump to make overtly confronting anti-Fascist activists the first test of his reign. This is just like the old "first they came for the Communists" situation except that anarchists and other progressives are also being targetted.

Checkpoint blockades, Alex Jones expelled, empty parade route, Richard Spencer punched, heroes rescue elder and disabled protester from police attack during Battle of K Street, limo burns, marches go on well into the night after a 7AM start.

On the 19th of January, rape apologist Mike Cernovich's Deporaball was held at the National Press Club. This "alt-right" event for the neo-Nazi wing of Trump's supporters. was named after Hillery Clinton's "basket of Deplorables" remark concerning racists and misogynists supporting Trump. At 7:30 PM, just after the start of the protests against the Deploraball,there were conflicting reports of smoke or mace used, along with sound of "explosions."

On the 18th of January, as all eyes turned towards the Inauguration and related protests, police again fired chemical weapons and "less lethal" projectiles at water protectors at Backwater Bridge. This bridge has been barricaded for months and police have more than one used a great deal of violence there. One water protector said Standing Rock "looks like a war zone right now."

Update Jan 19: Linda Black Elk reports one water protector run down by police snowmobile, "unresponsive on scene. Transported to ER pray for her."
