Bans like this are based in right-wing lies and won’t stop abortion, just make them less safe. When news outlets report on this, they should be explaining that fact.

They did not ask to be born to the family they have. The have no control over what their father/grandfather says and does. They did not ask him to run for President.
However, they are all tasked with the enormous burden of being the immediate family of Donald Trump, which is not going to be easy.
For 8 years, we stood back and let Malia and Sasha Obama grow up in peace. While there were some mishaps with members of the press and photos leaking from so called “friends”, they had a pretty quiet childhood outside of the public eye just like President and First Lady Michelle Obama wished.
I know Donald Trump is a terrible person, and we aren’t too fond of Melania, but I’m asking all of you to be the bigger person and leave the children out of the issues we have Trump. Let them have a normal childhood.
That means:
~ Don’t threaten them (which is a federal crime anyway). ~ Don’t make fun of their looks. ~ If you see them in public, ignore them and go about your day. ~ Don’t retweet crude comments ~ Don’t tweet Tiffany (the only one of the younger family members on SM) stupid shit about her dad.
And if you still need a reason, remember, the less ammunition we give Trump to take away our basic rights the better. We saw how reacted to Pence getting booed at Hamilton. Do you really wanna see how he reacts if people bully his kids?
These next four years aren’t going to be easy, we’re going to protest, argue and resist the best we can, but we can still have some class and common decency in the process.
Remember what Michelle Obama said, “When they go low, we go high.”
PS: Also extend this courtesy to the children of Mike Pence and his cabinet picks.
THIS!!!!! They are children and should be left alone! Do NOT attack them when they have no say. They are innocent. You can’t pick your family!
^^^ i hate trump and pence as much as the next person, but it’s not their kids’ fault who they live with or what their parents do. please leave them alone.
Reblogging this again because it’s very important. Leave the kids and grandkids alone please.
Because he isn’t some fresh faced College student off to his first internship. He’s 70 something years old taking on the most crucial job in the United States, arguably most important job in the western hemisphere. He’s had a life time to prove himself. And he’s proven to us that he is a slime.

Trump Presidency, Day 3:
Openly declaring objective truths that we can see with our own eyes to be invalid and 'dishonest', 'alternative facts', already went after a twitter account for sharing pictures of the inauguration that did not comply with the bullshit they made up.
me:
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command… and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth.
Trump’s press conference today held by Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, where they claimed that Trump had the largest inauguration turnout in history was nothing but authoritarian propaganda at work.
Despite evidence (and estimates) to the contrary and photographic/first hand proof they are pushing out this claim. Then they are stating that anyone who says otherwise is a liar, and refused to take questions on the matter from the press. Do not ignore this, this was the first official as president and they made it clear what they’re going to be saying to the public these next 4-8 years and hold news organizations accountable when they report his baseless claims without question. Don’t let them make it easy to spread blatant propaganda.
Shortly after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the 45th President of the United States, all foreign ambassadors were fired and with no concrete replacement ambassadors lined up. Mr Trump had demanded that every ambassador in countries all over the world, who had been appointed by former President Barack Obama, were told to leave their offices by midday on 20 January and with no grace period.
Here is probably the most interesting part of the article.
It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. It is less common to have no replacements in line.
As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women’s issues - have been discarded at once.
The move now threatens leaving many countries without Senate-confirmed envoys for months and cutting off a direct line to the President, and some in countries which have sensitive relations to the US.
