I'm concerned by reports of our immigrant neighbors receiving emails from the Trump Admin demanding they leave the U.S.
Many are getting these messages by mistake, including U.S. citizens.
Remember you have the right to speak to a lawyer if you have questions about your status.

But economic crises cause massive human suffering and have recently redounded more to the Right than the Left.

Europe in a state of emergency: The transformation into a military union and the risks of a catastrophic path - Evi Petsangouraki
The decision by the EU to transform into a military union under the leadership of Von der Leyen represents a dangerous turn for Europe
The EUโs shift into a military union under Ursula von der Leyen marks a dangerous turning point.
As Europe faces recession, rising fascism and a shifting global order, Brussels chooses guns over breadโslashing social spending to feed the war machine.

"Why donโt we stop treating it as entirely normal that the more
obviously oneโs work benefits others, the less one is likely to
be paid for it; or insisting that financial markets are the best
way to direct long-term investment even as they are propelling
us to destroy most life on Earth?
.
Why not instead, once the current emergency is declared over,
actually remember what weโve learned: that if โthe economyโ
means anything, it is the way we provide each other with what
we need to be alive, that what we call โthe marketโ is largely
just a way of tabulating the aggregate desires of rich people,
most of whom are at least slightly pathological, and the most
powerful of whom were already completing the designs for the
bunkers they plan to escape to."
During the height of the pandemic, David Graeber wrote: After the Pandemic, We Canโt Go Back to Sleep.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."
Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.
