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.
Imagine there are still people who chose to go to USA voluntarily?
Will Americans really still just look on and do nothing while the Trump administration is tearing the country apart?
There are a lot of protests going on right now - the news isn’t covering it.
I think the legal, standing around with signs protest is going to have to have its toothier cousin (the violent riot) starting up again alongside it if we want anything to change. They already painted the 2020 protests as “burning the cities down” despite them being >90% peaceful. We might as well – to reference Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics – fuck being rational and give em what they asked for.
Where? how do you know? how does the rest of the world find out about these?
I was curious what would happen if I googled “protests happening right now” and interestingly enough, it sent back this link: https://usprotests.liveuamap.com/
I’d question the credibility at this point. I’ve spent 0 minutes on there.
Aside from that…

Honestly, just fucking around on Lemmy every other day or so, I always see a new post regarding a protest.
Thanks for the links!.. definitely a balm on the shattered trust in the American people
Yeah, pretty likely.
::Looks at Americans really still just look on and do nothing while the Trump administration is tearing the country apart::
Yes.
Speak for yourself. What have you done to combat injustice in your home today?
Believe it or not yes some of us are trying to do something. You’ll have to forgive us for not having the same resources as the executive branch of the US.
This is not about any individuals, it’s about America as a whole!!!
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.
Where is this magical land you live?
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.
Lmfao yall are cracking down on your borders as we speak dude are you kidding me?
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.”
I specifically asked.
Does this qualify as doing something?
I saw your other comment, and it is laudable what you have done. So you of all people should know that tearing down everyone in the US and assuming none of us are doing anything is completely counterproductive.
You are helping the Trump administration with your needless snark/generalizations. You’ve taken your years of activism and weaponized it against people who either are already trying to do something or could potentially join the fray because you can’t fathom some of us are trying. You just assume you’re a better person than any of us and are now spending your time attacking us.
Is being smug and looking down on people from your high horse worth it? Are you enjoying yourself?
Have you considered maybe lending us a helping hand? Perhaps using all those years of experience you have to bring about some good?
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?
That was not a response to your years of activism. It was a response to your original comment, which was smug and shitty. I completely believe you did all those things and I literally said it was praiseworthy. I’m saying what you’re doing with your time now is the problem.
Then prove it.
I’m not gonna send my professional c/v to some rando on the internet. What difference does it make anyway?
So you’ve done nothing and you’re pretending. Thumbs up
What have you done?
We already asked you. And you’ve caved at answering. But you acted all high and mighty, so we’re waiting on your actual response.
I’d rather live in neo-fascist USA than in a war zone where I’m liable to be sent to the frontlines and die bleeding out in a trench after a drone blows my leg off.
I’d rather live in neo-fascist USA than live in poverty in many parts of Latin America where I would make 10x higher salary for unskilled labor. I would also have a 10x lower chance of getting my throat slit walking down the street at night.
Neo-fascist USA has literally threatened war with Canada and other neighboring countries, so if you think you won’t be on the front lines in a nonsense war started by fascists, then history has a very important lesson to teach you.
Chances are you and other Americans will be fighting in Ukraine alongside Russia by next year at the rate this clown show is excellerating.
There’s no American freedom in Neo-fascist USA, just whatever the broligarchy wants. The rights and freedom you, and every previous generation of Americans fought for are pretty much all gone now, so you are sorely mistaken if you assume you now have any.
i was born in a country with a military dictatorship who used to disappear people. just because the country is going to hell doesn’t mean you can’t carve out a meaningful life for yourself in the chaos. and living in a dystopian version of the US is probably still better than living in a dystopian version of a 3rd world country
at no point in US history has the US been at war with a neighboring country over a trade war escalation and instituted a draft as a result of that war
any future war is going to be versus China and we’ve probably got at least a few years before that comes to fruition.
we’re in the years leading up to WW3. think of it like the early 1930s. if you look at history, everywhere sucked. i’d rather be in a 1st world country when the bombs go off rather than a 3rd world country where i’m liable to starve due to mass famines
That’s not exactly voluntarily then, if it’s to save your life.
