We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.* The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

To be clear: Trump has ZERO plan with his tariffs. If he did we would see a plan with goals at 2 years from now, 3 years, etc. But Trump's goal is NOT to add new jobs, it's to destroy our way of life so we grovel to him
