Now is the time. Go meet your candidates.
If you want our politics to change, it is IMPERATIVE that you become a different kind of voter:
1) become an OBSESSIVE primary, local & off-cycle voter
2) research every candidate and don’t rely on what commercials tell you about them
3) show up at events where candidates speak & debate

Now that we have evidence in black and white of horrific abuse of young girls, what’s the republican response? Make it harder for women to vote.
The SAVE ACT is making its way around Congress. Again. This time it’s turbocharged. The bill, meant to “secure our elections,” is a trick that would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register to vote and cast their ballots. Let Congress know: (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social

The Hanover board unanimously opposes the sale of the warehouse to DHS, but does not have the power to veto it. So, the fight is not over.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

It’s CONGRESS that can stop ICE and CBP deployment to MN. The Dems (and any responsible Rs?) should introduce legislation and agitate for a vote: “No federal funds may be used for further activities of ICE or CBP in the state of Minnesota, except for their prompt withdrawal.”
