Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will introduce a bill to end H-1B visas, which allow companies to bring skilled foreign workers, days after Donald Trump backed the program.

What they thought was the bedrock protection of naturalization now feels more like quicksand.

Some are worried that if they leave the country, they will have difficulties when trying to return, fearful because of accounts of naturalized citizens being questioned or detained by U.S. border agents. They wonder: Do they need to lock down their phones to protect their privacy? Others are hesitant about moving around within the country, after stories like that of a U.S. citizen accused of being here illegally and detained even after his mother produced his birth certificate.

There has been no evidence of an uptick in denaturalizations so far in this Trump administration. Yet that hasn’t assuaged some. Sesay said he doesn’t travel domestically anymore without his passport, despite having a REAL ID with its federally mandated, stringent identity requirements.

The Justice Department posted pardons online bearing identical copies of President Donald Trump’s signature before quietly correcting them this week after what the agency called a “technical error.”

The replacements came after online commenters seized on striking similarities in the president’s signature across a series of pardons dated Nov. 7, including those granted to former New York Mets player Darryl Strawberry, former Tennessee House speaker Glen Casada and former New York police sergeant Michael McMahon. In fact, the signatures on several pardons initially uploaded to the Justice Department’s website were identical, two forensic document experts confirmed to The Associated Press.

Within hours of the online speculation, the administration replaced copies of the pardons with new ones that did not feature identical signatures. It insisted Trump, who mercilessly mocked his predecessor’s use of an autopen, had originally signed all the Nov. 7 pardons himself and blamed “technical” and staffing issues for the error, which has no bearing on the validity of the clemency actions.

Update Managed to fix my insurance issue, used what money we got to cover the copay that was left, get our phones paid for another month, and get some supplies. I'm still getting calls daily from the bank and Paypal about accounts being overdrawn and threats of closing them, sending it to collections, etc, to which all I can do is cry and tell them I'm trying to find work and beg them to just give me some time, which they don't respond to except to have someone else call the next day to do it all over again. If this doesn't get filled, we're not going to have electricity soon, and even the landlord is getting tired of the excuses and waiting. Update ends

Copied from original post I'm not good at asking for help, and I tend to just keep my head down and try to get by, but I've been dragging myself and a partner who isn't working through the last couple years, and last month I got fired from my job too.

I don't know what else to do. I don't fit in anywhere, and trying to find somewhere keeps getting my willingness to help abused until I retreat into depression and anxiety and self hatred. I volunteer, and get offered "jobs" where the boss decides pay is just a suggestion, or is substituted with the promise of "real work" which is always just around the corner, just trust them and hold out a couple more weeks/months/until the end of the year.

I'm still looking for work. I've had several interviews, including a couple offer letters that were rescinded after I signed them. I don't drive, and I'm having to look at places that are 2+ hour commutes each way, in jobs that are insisting I work weekends, which is the time the local bus doesn't run outside 8am to 6pm.

I hate having to do this when I know there are people worse off than me, and I feel like I don't deserve any help if I don't figure it out by myself, but I'm trying to fight those feelings and see them as the toxic BS they are. I feel so stuck right now, and it's making my brain spiral.

Anything would help. If you can donate but would prefer not to go through GFM, I'm up for other forms of aid as well, I know some people do meal kits or will order stuff for those in need to ensure funds are being used "appropriately". Just give me a DM and we can figure something out. I appreciate any assistance offered, even sharing the link in other places.

The Trump administration moved to designate antifa groups abroad as foreign terrorists — setting up the prosecution of their U.S. allies.
