A dem majority doesn’t have a goal of STOPPING these raids all together???
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

I’d suggest offering more than one thing- hey can I get you something? We have beer, coke, lemonade and water!
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

And I know people will say they don't explicitly target the 19th Amendment. And I am going to point out that they are targeting everything that resulted from it and the sexual revolution. They just started at undermining reproductive rights, the VRA and affirmative action. They want it all.

Researchers have found the virus’s spike protein can switch between solid and liquid-like states, making it harder for vaccine-generated antibodies to block the virus. They say this phase change may weaken vaccines and help the virus evolve into new variants.
