my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"
Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.

If your congressperson hasn’t backed this, call them and tell them to.
It is one tiny step, and of course, it will not change everything. But people need to face consequences for their actions.

146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered.
Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities.
