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.
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.
I was open enough to share a list of things i’ve done, do you mind sharing yours?
I feel like you’re not reading what I’m writing
I feel like you’re proving my original point.
Dude I have said nothing negative about your activism or denied it happened. What are you on about? I have twice said it was good work and I believe you. What is your deal?
That’s my deal. What have you done to defend your community and home today? Or yesterday?
EDIT - Assuming you’re an American resident and if not why the fuck are we having this conversation.
I am a US resident.
I have worked with the EFF, the CSE (which does incredible and essential work in the US south), I have helped LGBT Americans stuck in the gulf south in ways that I cannot legally discuss, I have worked with abortion funds both raising money and drumming up support, and I have been in the vicinity of stun grenades more than once. My camera has seen a lot and raised a lot of money/volunteers for orgs. I am proud of my work, as you should be of yours.
We have both done good work. We have both tried to make the world a better place. Now please take a step back and think about what you are doing, and remember this has been my point the entire time. Go through the comments and find anywhere where I spoke ill of your activism or denied it happened. I really need you to think about what was actually said here in considered why I am upset (again, I applaud your work and believe you.):
You started this conversation shitting on all US citizens because of what’s happening. There are tons of us trying to fight it, but you used your experience and wisdom and keyboard to attack all of us in one fell swoop. To discourage people.
You took your position as someone who has done good to discourage and disparage the rest of us.
