You may not agree with me (shut down airports)

I really feel that tomorrow in protest of the ban, we should shut down airports all over the nation even if for only and hour. It's not until folks are directly affected and businesses lose money that anything gets done!

There are people heading to bedsides, funerals, schools, maybe even protests.

It just makes them angry and unsympathetic. Educate them on the moral issues - separating families, blocking legal residents, disavowing valid visas.

The message has to come out that trump is causing this and that it cannot stand.

I don't think that families that may or may not have voted for Trump should suffer because he is a ass. A major shutdown in air travel has way too many unintended consequences. I mean, this is basically Bridgegate 2.0. Shutting down major transportation hubs to teach a political lesson.
