It might be more effective, and certainly more courteous, if you could avoid making essentially the same set of advocacy posts almost every day.

Several permanent residents have apparently been tricked into signing

away their green cards while being detained without benefit of

counsel.

How many Foundation employees are affected by the travel ban?

Will the foundation join the calls for a general strike?

James,

You have put forward so many proposals that were off topic in the past years, that they are unlikely to get serious traction here. I applaud that you are so concerned with current events, but other venues may be more effective for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf

Best, Lodewijk

Nathan,

Even on a list dominated with one-line congratulations, I would agree with your sentiment under normal circumstances, but I do not consider current events normal, events are unfolding such that the specifics of my recommendations have changed, and I don't want to have to tell people in future decades that I erred on the side of caution.
