Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

We are currently experiencing a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm! This is in addition to the severe solar radiation storm already ongoing.
(Now would be a hilarious time for the Sun to throw out another large flare, to cause the simultaneous trinity of space weather effects).

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a severe (level 4 of 5) geomagnetic storm watch for Monday night after a coronal mass ejection erupted from the sun Sunday. Similar levels of geomagnetic storming (such as Nov 2025) have produced aurora displays visible from Northern California.
