These include military family members who are minors, people who worked with the US military who could be killed by the Taliban that Trump helped to return to power. Shameful breaking of American promises if this holds.
Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

No matter what happens with TT and them bringing it back, don't forget this. That Trump put the ban on wheels just to stop it in its tracks.

I saw a TT from this morning about the lawsuit against Jay-Z and I just couldn't stop thinking about how it very much feels like "bread and circuses".
