Weirdly hopeful grumpy old neurospicy Coloradoan (she/her).
I love books and reading, rescue pets, and people (for the most part, the later preferably from a distance) former homeschooling mum
I'd say I garden, but that would be a bit generous.

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

Disabled people are not your enemy.

Trans people are not your enemy.
We are scapegoats to make people believe they can have a better life at our expense.
A better life is possible if you tax the wealthy. If the billionaire class is abolished.
