It’s not that hard.
Don’t grovel to the fascists or cover for pedophiles. Don’t govern miles to the right of your electoral base. Listen to your constituents, not the billionaire elites (& definitely don’t accept a $70 million line of credit from them).
Otherwise, welcome to retirement-by-primary

If you don’t want a serious primary challenge, don’t vote to let ICE to strip-search literal children.
Until then, stop whining.

This is brilliant
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
