Chilling article, with numbers as well as profiles of 5 families. Worth the read. Apologies if previously posted; I did not see it on search.

"America is on the move. Hundreds of thousands of people are packing up boxes, loading U-Hauls, and shipping out of state in an urgent flight towards safety.
Theyre being propelled by hostile political forces bearing down on them because of who they are, what they believe, or for their medical needs.
All are displaced within their own country for reasons they did not choose. They are the new generation of Americas internal refugees and their ranks are growing by the day.
Here, we profile families who have joined Americas swelling class of internal refugees. They represent just five stories among many others which might have been included: librarians fleeing book bans, professors forced out by ideologically-motivated college education boards, and most recently, the thousands of federal employees fired by the Trump administration."

(970 posts)but perhaps it would be worth posting any broad aspects of the logistics problems, if they are ones people might be able to help with. To then be clarified with DM etc. with individuals. Just a thought. For exampke, I live in SE New England, if me being in that location could be useful.
