If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs.

That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories.

We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.

Every American Citizen right now has privileges of free speech that those with Visas or Greencards currently do not. It is your *duty* to speak up loudly and contest what's happening. The Constitution is getting violated daily, which isn't surprising, but highly dangerous.

Wield your privilege.

Of all the crazy outcomes possible from this utterly batshit timeline, I’m not taking Montana becoming a social democracy in 10 years off the table.

If we throw out the old playbook, the possibilities are endless.
