Understand that when highest court in the land sides w/increasingly authoritarian president against a minority group because of hate and bias against that group, it means that the highest court in the land has given a green light for him to eventually come for you too. #MuslimBan
NO ONE WITH POWER IS STANDING UP TO TRUMP. When the US goes full-on fascist, remember all these green lights he was given. And remember the “civility” crowd and their shutting down of any necessary incivility and civil disobedience. Civility = collaboration #MuslimBan #FuckTrump
And understand that for years and even before the #MuslimBan, anti-Muslim bias and violence have been rising in the #USA. SCOTUS has endorsed even more.
It is a #MuslimBan. Refuse his euphemism and obfuscation. #SCOTUS upheld a MUSLIM BAN.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor: The court, “blindly accepts the government’s invitation to sanction an openly discriminatory policy” and is essentially “replacing one gravely wrong decision with another.” washingtonpost.com/politics/court… #MuslimBan
“Take a brief moment and let the gravity of those statements sink in,” Sotomayor said. “And then remember,” Sotomayor added, that the statements and tweets were spoken or written “by the current president of the United States.” #MuslimBan
“A reasonable observer would conclude that the Proclamation was motivated by anti-Muslim animus,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote. motherjones.com/politics/2018/… via @MotherJones #MuslimBan #SCOTUS #NoMuslimBanEver
