I have long admired their work. They have toiled for social justice for decades mostly out of the public eye. Their data is used by the ACLU and other organizations. They also keep track of the various hate groups as well. This is the main group that I donate to.
Hawaii plans to file a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s new travel ban.
Court filings show lawyers for the state intend to file a motion Wednesday asking a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order blocking implementation of the new executive order.
Neal Katyal, one of the lead attorneys for Hawaii, told CNN that the new travel ban “suffers from the same constitutional and statutory defects” as the President’s first executive order on immigration.
Both sides in the case have asked for the judge to approve a tight briefing schedule so the state’s request can be heard before the new executive order goes into effect on March 16.

AFP, FreedomWorks, Heritage Action all against this bill. It doesn’t sound like the leadership has a big outside coalition for this bill https://t.co/V0rEfGMZo4
Never forget, Trump is the guy who lied & said he had people in Hawaii "and they cannot believe what they're finding" about President Obama. pic.twitter.com/6DmMRRkQym
Before checking out the tweet, here’s a reminder of the mission of the U.S. Coast Guard:
The U.S. Coast Guard’s mission is to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests — in the nation’s ports and waterways, along the coast, on international waters, or in any maritime region as required to support national security.
I hate that the media is calling Ryan’s supposed health bill “trumpcare”. The liar in chief has not put 1 thought – sane or otherwise – into this bill. Paul Ryan should have it hung around his neck like the enormous piece of horse s..t that it is
Yet again – Ryan manages to get someone else to pay for his efforts to bring in the “get sick and die” health care plan.
I have a theory about the GOP’s insistence on “repeal and replace” (or really just *repeal*) rather than “repair/fix” those features in the ACA that don’t work as well as it could. I believe that any repair would make them admit that the fix would be those things that they have fought to have removed or what has been obstructed by GOP-led states and the insurance companies. In other words, they would have to admit that *THEY* are the problem with the current ACA.
Those who insist on calling the GOP health don’t-care bill “Obamacare-lite” know that their *replace* will make our lives worse and want to pin the blame on PBO. I think Paul Ryan’s name should be all over it and he should go down with the bill. He is such a tough guy when he is surrounded by his GOP cronies. But when he is caught by himself, any issue that he is being asked to address is beneath him wasting his time to address.
This is about the name “Obamacare” since it has generally been successful, it is still nicknamed after a “foreign name” and a black man was the architect. It was supposed to have failed completely hence why it was initially nicknamed as it was but since it did not, these people can never allow it to stand.
They either gut it thus making it useless and distorting the story around it (changing history) or they replace it with a name more “favorable” to them. They will probably end up changing a few things in the law but rename the law trumpcare or ryancare.
What's the real reason the GOP wants to repeal Obamacare and substitute a fake replacement? Watch our video and find out, and please share. pic.twitter.com/B96U1TKLnl
I can't imagine what it wd be like to rep the US as Ambassador to UN if I had to defend/explain to other countries a POTUS who made stuff up https://t.co/ifv9DWKAxI
Makes the job a lot harder as no country knows whether to believe the US anymore and who speaks for us. Crippling for US global leadership. https://t.co/dmKcXOPTeA

I agree CEB, I get their emails all the time & all the hate watch info. I like to think that if I was an attorney- I’d be working with them.
Congrats, Tally on your Au ⭐
A-A people have known this for decades; glad the info. is getting out to others.
DAMN. I feel like I’m living in hell.
Evening TOD folks! So nice to see PBO out and about keeping a smile even in the face of crap from the WhiteHouse.
The PBS special, Ken Burns: America’s Storyteller is on now (EST).
Mark Knoller finally has something to tweet about, that isn’t related to golf.
It would be so cool to see this creep go.

Rachel is interviewing this gentleman now, on her show. Former member of the Obama administration, I believe she said.
Before checking out the tweet, here’s a reminder of the mission of the U.S. Coast Guard:

love it.
wow, so happy that the Obama folks are speaking out.
Is this really her. It’s not a verified account?
This isn’t her account. She’s @AGLynch
I checked that, too, and the @AGLynch account says it’s “no longer active.”
Oh…..but does that mean the above account is hers now? Seems like it should still be verified. Anyway, the tweets are pretty sassy!!
I’m such a nerd I tweeted the “new” and unverified account yesterday, to ask if it were going to be verified! No answer. Ha.
I hate that the media is calling Ryan’s supposed health bill “trumpcare”. The liar in chief has not put 1 thought – sane or otherwise – into this bill. Paul Ryan should have it hung around his neck like the enormous piece of horse s..t that it is

You are so right. He’s deplorable.
Some people on twitter are starting to agree with you – calling it #RyanCare – and I’m joining them, when I think of it!
ty Jacqueline – I saw the earlier tweet re the illegal immigrant who seems to think the WH isn’t grand enough for her.
I hope frump goes down soon. The world is aghast.
We’re all aghast, too – like the whole country has PTSD.
Spicer’s show-and-tell performance will look even better on SNL.
Not sure yet if there’s actually a connection, but they’re taking credit for it! Go, Lady Liberty!
Goodnight TOD ….
Goodnight, Bob – See you back here tomorrow, fightin’ the good fight!

Heard about this horrific attack on the radio this morning.
@cbsradionews said that 3 attackers w/ AK-47s were dressed in medic/doctor white garb…
Unfathomable to me how people can betray humanity like this.
Really hate waking up to news like this (piled on top of the enduring and endless horrors of DJT adm and GOP congress). 😦
Does anyone know how to change the word “health” in the sign in this photo, to “don’t “? One of the tweets above mentioned we should start calling it that, the “American Don’t Care Act”. Or “Ryancare”. Just trying to oblige.😊

The Search for the Soul Ben Carson Once Possessed
At first, I thought this piece would be a biting indictment of Carson, using humor, like Luvvie did in her piece.
Somewhere along the line, the piece becomes biting and haunting, and painful.
It’s well worth the read.
Powerful. Sad. So much truth.
New post.
