Damn: that article hits dark. My family members in the States are Vietnamese-Americans, but professional class - doctors, mostly. Not surprisingly: they all loathe Trump. I thought their status would be pretty safe in future, but after reading the article, I now have my doubts.

It's probably not what you want to hear, Yasha - but if things go really dark, you, Evgenia and kids are welcome in Australia. The society is still pretty racist - blackface was acceptable on TV until pretty recently - but it's *amateur* racism. That sort of *professional* racism showed by Stephen Miller would be so offputting that he'd be more likely to have the shit beaten out of him on the streets than promoted.

(Needless to say, the standing offer of welcome is also for my family. We have better public transport and better public space. And the playgrounds are to die for.)

Elon Musk, Zohran Mamdani and Yasha Levine: the New York Three (with more to be added).

Hopefully you beat the system like the Chicago 7.
