Can't be real surely?

Yeah, but the horrifying thing is that it is not out of the realms of possibility!

Fair enough. Though this week I'm more horrified about the administration defying court orders, and also refusing to readmit a Lebanese surgeon on a legitimate work visa, with no reason given.

I read this morning about an ethnic Hmong woman from Milwaukee who has lived in the US since she was a baby (born in Thailand to refugees from the Vietnam War), but after getting mixed up in and serving time for some kind of illegal marijuana  criminality, she lost her green card and was deported straight out of prison to Laos, a country she had never previously set foot in. Leaving behind her US husband and five kids, and with her documents seized by the Laotian government and running out of diabetes medication.

Fucksake. It gets worse every hour.

And as Trump defies court orders, assumes more and more unitary executive power, eviscerates what used to be a world-leading scientific and medical research industry, deports people for exercising their right to free speech (and punishes the institutions in which they exercised that right), the GOP is growing ever more servile, the Dems ever more feckless, directionless and leaderless, and corporate and societal leaders are afraid to stick their head above the parapet.

But don't mention authoritarianism!
