This article lays out really well how much information, privilege, cultural capital, and money you need to stay on the electoral rolls when the state is changing the rules around you.

Today we remember Fr. Stan Swamy, SJ, on the fourth anniversary of his death. As a #Jesuit priest, he worked for the rights of marginalized communities in India for 50 years and died as a prisoner after being unjustly incarcerated for his work as a human rights activist.

I think this is one of the biggest factors

The meanness of inviting someone to your house, only to berate them and then kick them out- it breaks every rule of hospitality in the world. Itโ€™s gross
You would not treat a guest in your home โ€” even one you really didnโ€™t like โ€” the way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky today.

If you have not read this book yet (or listened to it) you are not properly prepared for what weโ€™re facing right now, full stop. And it is clear far too many have not.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isnโ€™t going as planned. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at โ€œdangerous criminals.โ€ Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrestsโ€”just a community that wasnโ€™t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Cry more. And then go amend the Constitution ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ
A bunch of red states just filed a brief opposing birthright citizenship. They claim theyโ€™re harmed because they have to provide health care to undocumented mothers and their babiesโ€”and donโ€™t want to because itโ€™s expensive. All of them claim to be pro-life. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
