Not as many problems as traveling without one.
Having traveled before with someone in that exact situation, yes, there will be harassment and TSA may very well intentionally force you miss your flight and end up waiting to fly standby on the next one. But as of now, you generally do get through, which cannot be said for traveling internationally without any passport at all.
Will that change? Highly likely. Soon? Probably.
But there are a not insignificant number of people who only recently decided it's no longer safe, applied for passports, made plans to leave, and saw recent stories about passports not being issued. This type of scare mongering does not help them, and can be actively harmful to their mental health and well-being.
Edit: Obviously the longer they stay, the higher the chance this changes.
I think we have to realize that we're in the ~~minority~~ opposition.
The Trump administration is giving you new excuses every day
Not subject to filibuster per se, but there was absolutely something they could have done. From TFA:
Under the process, Senate rules allow for members to propose an unlimited number of amendments.
So while not literally a filibuster, they could have effectively filibustered it by simply continuing to propose amendments, preventing the bill itself from ever coming to a vote. Once again, the Democrats are showing themselves unwilling to play hardball.
The contributor's frustration with Linus started with Linus ignoring multiple explicit requests for his intervention. When the contributor was so frustrated at the lack of response from Linus that he had the audacity to talk about it off list (linking here because the original toot has been deleted), it was at that point that Linus finally chimed in to tell the contributor "Maybe the problem is you," implying that Hellwig's obstructionism was not a problem in his eyes and that the only issue was the contributor drawing public attention to it.
The quote is from the documentation of Trump's 2019-07-25 phone call with Zelensky, modified to substitute "Germany" for "Ukraine"
Yes.
The real question is whether there are any provisions of the Geneva convention Israel isn't already violating. (If so, don't point them out. They'll take it as a challenge.)
The only good cops. Now if we can just convince the rest to follow their example ...
It shouldn't. They did so poorly because 10% of the German electorate shifted even farther to the far right AfD, and another 10% had already done so in previous elections.
