It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

No more yelling (though of course one wants to yell) around ICE. Also, and I hate this, discreet cameras. If you can afford the right lawyer, this rule might not hold. But you’re going to want a good bank account or pro-bono
