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.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather

Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses

Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments

Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA...

The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.
