The narrative that Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Turkey are being treated differently because Trump has business ties with them is missing the crucial additional context that all three countries have been staunch geopolitical clients of the United States. All three countries purchase USA arms and equipment, and perform military actions at the USA’s behest, and Turkey is currently a crucial forward base for NATO’s ambitions in Syria. It’s not just Trump money and these countries did not just start receiving special treatment with this administration. They have always been key US interests and collaborators in the Middle East.

The omission is intentional. “Liberal” establishment bastions are happy to personally attack Trump but would never criticize America’s accepted status quo of imperialist foreign policy.

Trump’s Muslim Ban Realized

Today on 1/27/17 Trump closed America’s doors to refugees, indefinitely, banned immigrants from several countries, suspended the Visa program, and effectively left untold numbers of people stranded–including those with Green Cards and especially those with no where else to turn who had already been approved to come here.

It is not a ban purely on Muslims, just on specific (majority Muslim) countries, so there’s a chance it could hold up in court.

He signed this executive order on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even if he didn’t understand the significance of that, I have no doubt Bannon and the other nazis on his staff did. 

This is monstrous.

I noticed something very different today, as someone who’s regularly attended rallies and marches since the age 13.

White femininity’s perceived peacefulness is intrinsically linked to how the State views and treats nonwhite femininities and masculinities. It’s very interesting how a predominately white women march today received the least intervention and suspicion from state apparatuses like the police.

Identical political marches with identical demands for autonomy, dignity, mobility and reproductive justice (a political term coined by black women scholars) have been led by black women but the State response to such assemblages is starkly different. Much harsher. The level of scrutiny and penalty goes above and beyond that which predominantly white assemblages face.

So while, yes, there is strength in numbers and other pleasant axioms, there is also strength in rigorously questioning why you are not viewed as a threat, why your default status is not seen as a deviance from the norm, why you receive such kindness and others don’t.
