It's taken me a while to figure out what to say and I realized it doesn't matter because in one reality or another, you already know what this is about.

But I still need to ask:

Did you refuse to help Thor?

Breaking News - As clean up efforts begin, storm damage in New York City is estimated at $21 billion and 19 people have died on the island of Manhattan. Over 2,000 residences are severely damaged, and 15,000 buildings suffered moderate damage.

Waterfront properties and parks in New York and nearby states endured storm surges up to six feet. Infrastructure has been affected. 600,000 residents experienced power outages, and crews are working to restore electricity by the end of this week. Stark Industries has donated portable arc reactor generators and contractors to affected areas.

The White House has issued a press statement. Congress and the Senate called special session votes to add Asgardians to the list of designated terrorist groups, alongside The Ten Rings, Watchdogs, HATE, and the defunct terrorist group known as HYDRA.

All citizenship or rights to be on American soil have been revoked, and all financial assets have been frozen. Any country or corporate entity that is suspected of harboring or aiding known terrorist groups, or Asgardian sympathizers like Dr. Jane Foster, will be subject to sanctioning and asset seizure.

What just happened?

Did I just lose my citizenship?
