Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

Next executive order: “From this day on, the official language of the United States will be Swedish! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half hour! Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check!” Couldn’t be more “bananas” than that.

Absolutely insane article saying Canada should just join the United States when Canadians do not want to. It's a sovereign nation. Why is the New York Times greenlighting shit like this? It's irresponsible.

The media is asleep at the wheel as a fascist takes office. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/o...

Perhaps Trump is not making a threat but offering an opportunity.
