WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden’s administration.

The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week. It is part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, the sources said.

    What the actual fuck do you think we can do? Do you have any concept of how large and disconnected the United States actually is?

    We don’t have a unified banner to fight under. Most of us reasonable people are not armed. Even if we were, most of us are untrained.

    Protests do nothing to this guy. Boycotts don’t do shit. Burning things doesn’t help. So what, pray tell, in your infinite wisdom, should we do?

      Burning shit seems to work well when done in large enough quantities, see France.

      Pay your debt and stop spending on anything: not for a few days but for 1-3 trimester or even more. Use your car less often and use a bike instead is also a way to spend less in gaz and in future healthcare. Grow a garden and maintain your house yourself. Leave most mainstream social media and use open source software. Volunteer in your community and stay informed with reliable sources… Only for those in Canada can we then add : buying made in Canada from Canadian owned business as best as your financial situation will let you. We Canadian will boycott US for the next decade at least.

      In a war fighting is important but preparedness and logistics are what makes fighting effective: be prepared and starve your opponent economy is what happens in this phase of the war.

        I have zero debt. I pay for shit in cash or don’t buy things I cannot afford. 6 years ago I built a tiny home off grid on a plot of land outside of the city. I don’t have mainstream socials: I quit them in 2018. Need I go on?

        You’re suggesting average people just “pay off their debts” as if that’s a viable path for someone living paycheck to paycheck. We’re largely struggling here.

        The top 0.1% have 50% of the wealth in this country. The top 1% have 90%. Work that out, guy.

        None of what you suggested will stop Trump. Nothing you suggested will change his actions. He’s entrenching himself as dictator.

          Good for you to be mostly independent, help people around you reach some of these objectives themselves. Build a network of likeminded people.

          You can debate between American when and how to actually fight for your country and your freedom. As for me in Canada this isn’t a preoccupation for me because i won’t be involved in your internal struggle. As a last idea may I suggest an old French sharp device?
