BBC: Thousands of gay men pardoned for past convictions
Rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said the pardon was an "important, valuable advance that will remedy the grave injustices suffered by many of the estimated 50,000 to 100,000 men who were convicted under discriminatory anti-gay laws".
But he said it was "unclear" whether only the relatives of a deceased man could apply for a pardon on their behalf.
"Many convicted men were rejected and disowned by their families," he said.
"The government should make it clear that any concerned person, including personal friends, can apply for a pardon for a deceased person."
Ten reasons why it is not undemocratic for MPs to vote against invoking Article 50
(Pay special attention to #8!)
ETA: Vox: A British petition to cancel Trump’s state visit has reached over a million signatures
Shared b/c Yvette Cooper's contribution.
Also, I still have that petition open in a tab. It makes me happy to see the numbers go up.
Although as someone pointed out, they should let Trump meet Prince Charles, just for the sake of talking climate change!!
READ THIS OMG: The protests absolutely make a difference.
CNN: As of midday Tuesday, Trump has been named in 42 federal lawsuits since his inauguration.

It would make sense and such, but since when have governments been known for that?

(I don't know how the system works, so I'm only guessing. It'd be a lot easier if they'd just pardon everyone, but hey ho.)

Oh me too! And he should have to sit in a room and explain to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge his remarks about wanting to see naked pictures of her - and also his comment a short time after William's mother's death that he could have had sex with her if he had wanted to. Preferably a room with full TV coverage...

There's also one that turns his name into Drumpf or Dump, whichever you prefer. I do like that one a lot! It works.

Still kittens. I wish my computer wasn't decrepit and would let me run Chrome.

That story about protests making a difference was wonderful. Glad that they can see we're not all like that orange menace.
Good to see Drumpf keeping up his history of being sued left and right.
That Ellen explanation was awesome
Definitely getting that kitten thing. I can't stand seeing that disgusting face of his. Though I might miss the hilarious pics of his alien hair doing weird things.

Well, it's a nice way for the general public to register their displeasure. And if/when he comes, there'll be a LOT of demonstrations. >:)

I love it. Out of all the badness, there is some hope.

And today he's been ordered to pay back 6 million dollars I believe (that he swindled people out of).

Ellen for All The Things.
