Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

    ::Looks at Americans really still just look on and do nothing while the Trump administration is tearing the country apart::

    Yes.

        If I wrote the list of actions and demonstrations I visited and helped organize in the last 15 years, I’d get accused of bragging. There’s no winning against that argument, it’s either “Show me what you’ve done” ::Shows all the things:: “You’re bragging” or ::Shows nothing:: “See? I’m right.”

            In middleschool some peers and I helped run a fundraiser and helped organize in 2003 against the war in Iraq (kinda started here, cuz I naiively thought we were past that as a species)

            When living in America during my teens, attended every protest I could physically go to to march against KKK and NeoNazi rally’s, we even (foolishly) got physical with them.

            November 2011 was at Occupy Wall St. where 800+ of us were arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge. (first time being arrested at a protest)

            2012-2013 worked with Greenpeace, Wilderness Society, and alongside with Bob Irwin (Steve Irwin’s dad) in his Fight for the Reef campaign to protect the Great Barrier Reef from coal shipping expansion (successfully managed to delay the Australian coal industries plan for a whole year, sadly they dredged the GBR anyway but I’d like to think we gave them a headache.)

            2013 onwards - Attended every protest but at this point I’m past yelling and shouting, nowadays I hand out bottles of water and information on rights and what to do if you’re arrested or confronted by police.

            2024 - Helped defend Plymouth UK from the fascist pogroms, same as above except also using my body as a shield to protect others from bricks. Hurt like a bitch but i’d take a million more. Also help run classes and leftist meetings alongside socialist members of government to teach members of the public everything from history of anti-fascism to safe resistance to mutual aid and preformative politics to cybersecurity to fascist dog-whistles and local fascist groups.

            Does this qualify as doing something?

                Is being smug and looking down on people from your high horse worth it? Are you enjoying yourself?

                This is why I don’t share the things I’ve done to try and help, because random people on the internet who have done nothing say shit like this. Like I said, there’s no winning, i’m either bragging or lying. You asked I answered, and you’re still not happy.

                EDIT - I was open enough to share a list of things i’ve done, do you mind sharing yours?

                Especially those of us who are POC/LGBTQ+ we aren’t the fucking problem any more than the German Jews who voted in their elections when hitler was elected. These people apparently would have blamed German Jews for ‘doing nothing’ and then fleeing their country instead of ‘staying to fix it’ and they don’t seem to understand what they’re saying. I do honestly believe there is a concerted russian/foreign effort to fan the flames of division between left leaning Americans and the rest of the world. Our populations overwhelmingly voted against trump we don’t have the fucking numbers but yep we’re all at fault and apparently we should go around committing mass shootings until we get what we want even if we end up killing other democratic party supporters as long as we get one magat…

        Speak for yourself.

        This is not about any individuals, it’s about America as a whole!!!

        Believe it or not yes some of us are trying to do something.

        Speak for yourself.

          I’m still waiting to hear what they’ve done to combat injustice in their home today. Or even yesterday for that matter.

          EDIT - They responded, they’re a G.

            This is not about normal politics, or business as usual, it’s about Trump destroying USA. In my country there is nothing remotely close to Trump or Republicans to demonstrate against, because we have a democracy that actually works.

                It’s in Europe, but I guess you meant which country it is, which is Denmark.
                And there is nothing magical about it, there are several similar countries that have functioning democracies.
                To have a functioning democracy is not magical. But yes we do demonstrate if there are issues that require it. And we do have grass root movements. That can organize demonstrations quickly when needed.

        Many idiots who are understandably mad/frustrated as well as foreign trolls/bots are trying to get Americans to become indiscriminate mass shooters regardless of who they end up taking down with them. The normal people telling us to get violent don’t understand what it really takes to get an organized militant anti-government group off the ground. Any ‘violence’ that happens in this country by our side cannot be indiscriminate it must be targeted and reduce collateral damage to other people who support us.
