They only have one name because immigrants commit crimes at *lower rates* than native-born Americans. Studies show *no link* between illegal immigration & violent crime. Cities with more immigrants often have *lower crime rates*. Trump is lying and scapegoating migrants.

Thought experiment:

If you woke up as a German citizen during Hitler’s rise, knowing the future, what would you do?

As an ordinary person, I’m not sure what I could do. I feel like I would be screaming at the wind, hoping his own Day of Love comes.

I wish I had a way better answer.

Reason for Hope Amidst Fascism’s Rise in the USA:
• Trump: 77M votes
• Harris: 75M votes
• 3rd Party: 2M votes
• 90M did not vote
>32% of Americans chose the current turn toward authoritarianism.
We’re not a fascist people, just disengaged… and it is increasingly harder to remain complacent.

I’ve always been a dinosaur when it comes to social media. I sort of stopped at Facebook. I have other accounts but I just can’t bring myself to use them.
Then I saw Zuckerberg’s video where he bowed down to Trump and I suddenly felt motivated to seek bluer skies.
