Summary

Asian American groups are preparing for potential deportations of undocumented Chinese nationals, particularly military-age men, under Trump’s proposed immigration policies.

Sources indicate Chinese nationals may be prioritized due to alleged national security concerns, reflecting broader anti-China sentiment.

Community organizations are creating multilingual resources, coordinating legal support, and educating families on their rights.

Trump’s rhetoric ties Chinese immigrants to fears of espionage, intensifying anxieties.

Advocates highlight the historical targeting of minority groups during national security crises and warn of significant impacts on vulnerable communities, urging solidarity and swift action.

    Once again. This is because less people voted democratic. Same number over a smaller total is a larger percentage.

      I.e. people that could have prevented this but decided they’d rather have their faces eaten.

      Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.

        Kamala Harris did not lose because she’s not a white man and perpetuating that myth is not helping.

        She lost because she didn’t speak to the working class.

        She didn’t lay out any plans nor promise any relief to the millions of people struggling.

        She said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden with Palestine.

        She parading around a Republican and tried to draw in the non-existent middle voter.

        She promised more of the same when “the same” already wasn’t good enough.

        Was she the better choice? Absolutely. Did she lose because she’s not a white man? FUCK NO and parroting that bullshit excuse is just distracting from the issues that actually need fixing.

          She shouldn’t even be relevant. The other guy is literally a “ok, who else is there to vote for because this guy is the worst option” candidate.

          She also lost because she’s not a man. And she also lost because she’s not white. You’re deluding yourself if you don’t think race and gender had an influence in the election.

            If being a woman’s all it takes not to vote for her then how come she lost Michigan which has a woman governor?

          Well she did actually, it was all on her website which has sadly been updated or I would show you.

          You can still see her Politifact campaign promises page tho LINK

          Economy

          Ban corporate price gouging on food and groceries

          Taxes

          Will not raise taxes for those earning less than $400,000 a year

          This promise extends another Biden pledge.

          Roll back Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans

          Enact a minimum tax for billionaires

          Increase the tax rate on long-term capital gains to 28% for those earning at least $1 million a year

          and this is in addition to the fact that the Biden Administration already blocked the Krogers Albertson Merger and had the FTC and DOJ investigate prices and firms across the USA. LINK

          She also promised to bring back Child Tax Credits and a new $6,000 child tax credit and also to forgive even more student debts.

          If there was any issue with Message it was that the people who bought Washington Post and Twitter weren’t sharing their message.

            Yup, uninformed voters are a blight. All the information for BOTH SIDES was out there and available.
