My father applied for visas to immigrate as soon as he learned for the passage of the 1965 immigration act. It’s the reason I’m a US citizen today.
Great points in this thread: We don't usually think of 1965 immigration act as on par w/New Deal and Civil Rights, but it was a major liberal achievement and Miller's real project is to undo it. As @larryglickman.bsky.social says this connects w/goal of undoing other great 20th century achievements:
Finally had a chance to read this Incredible piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social that documents Miller’s attempt to undo and reverse the 1965 immigration settlement and reveals how central this effort is to the administration’s reactionary aim to take down the New Deal and civil rights orders.

Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress — not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

Police start firing tear gas and using rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to get people angry. They stir up trouble so they can have an excuse to call it a violent protest and start arresting people. Stay peaceful. Peaceful protests are protected by the 1st amendment of the Constitution.
