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.

    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 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?

            This is the political version of saying “if global warming is real, then how come it snowed on Christmas?”

            I hope one day when you grow up you realize how stupid you sound.

            Oh, let’s see… maybe because there’s a vast gulf in the perceived power and responsibility between a governor and a president?
