If the West wanted to prevent Syria from falling back into Russia's sphere of influence, it could have stepped in much earlier but instead it is more focused in securing the deportation or return of Syrian refugees and less about the long term consequences of Syria Russia normalization.

I have a lot of respect for Zolan Kanno-Youngs and @haleaziz.bsky.social and have talked to both many times in the past. That the Times lets them be so blunt about what is happening with the U.S. refugee admissions program is a good sign of how much the Trump admin is not even trying to deny it.

The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

The proposals, some of which already have gone into effect, would transform a decades-old program aimed at helping the world’s most desperate people into one that conforms to Mr. Trump’s vision of immigration — which is to help mostly white people who say they are being persecuted while keeping the vast majority of other people out.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

From @xplosiveamnesia.bsky.social

If you haven't realized that MAGA are all dangerous psychopaths who lack any kind of empathy or rationality, you haven't been listening.

Fight back like it matters; because otherwise, you go down too.

These are the people who protect parks, forecast weather, and keep America safe, and they should not be collateral damage. The same holds true for Democratic-led cities, American democracy, the rule of law...

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 15h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.
