Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

        Most people who care what happens to others they never met are not murderers.

        People who know people affected are usually powerless.

        That kid almost became a historic legend.

        I honestly don’t know what would have happened. Would the country have been upset and voted for whatever other scum Republicans tossed in as Trump’s replacement? Would it have been too late and the country would have just defaulted to Dems to be safe? I don’t know. But the kid would have still been a hero.

        Sooooooo close.

          Vance probably would have stepped up as the candidate. Would he win vs Kamala? Hard to say, he ain’t no Trump, but his chances would still be decent considering the current known track record of female candidates

          The republican that took his spot would have won with a big majority but at least it wouldn’t be a Russian asset

            Not so sure how many republicans in office aren’t Russian assets at this point. There’s a bunch of them though, have been for a while.

      He’s living proof that time travel into the past is never going to get invented … likely because he cut most science funding.

        I’m not so sure about that.
        Just like the Federation in the Star Trek universe had the Prime Directive (rule) that prohibits its members from interfering with the natural development of alien civilization, I can see how time travel could have a similar rule. Going back in time to mess with things can create all kinds of unintentional butterfly effects.

      Because America is too weak to deal with internal threats.

      In less than 24 hours we can reign unholy fire down upon any enemy anywhere on the globe. But if they’re in our own backyard we cower before them and allow them to abuse us repeatedly.

      And that is why our democracy will collapse and our quality of life will decline.
