Today, I got a message from Meetup that they're couldn't just stand aside and be a neutral tool for all sides. No, they had to get involved, and create #Resist groups for every state, and join everybody into those groups.
I deleted my Meetup account.
Here's a copy of the email I got from the filthy hippy fascists.

Meetup has always served as an organizing platform for a wide range
of political views, welcoming everyone from the Howard Deaniacs to
the Tea Party. Meetup will always welcome people with different beliefs.
But after the recent executive order aimed to block people on the basis of nationality and religion, a line was crossed. At a time when core democratic ideals feel under attack, we feel a duty to spark more civic participation. Last week, we created 1,000+ #Resist Meetup Groups to act as local hubs for actions on behalf of democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability. Already 50,000+ people have joined. These #Resist Meetups are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all. Meetup exists to connect people so they create opportunity and make the world they want. We hope members take these Meetups forward to be powerful together.
