I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

the horror of what ICE is doing feels like it is really really really breaking through to people, and it's opening up big overdue conversations on other topics (that prisons have always been this inhumane, that Homeland Security has always been this racist) if we wanted to wedge those cracks open

The entirety of the bloated ICE budget should be repurposed for climate security. Infrastructure, resilience, research, refugee reparations. Real homeland security.

It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.
