If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.

Not the biggest crisis, but this "Board of Peace" nonsense being constituted as an international agreement that vests control in Trump personally even if he's no longer president is a striking example of something that's so facially illegitimate that it's inherently unconstitutional.
