Even if you don't read about politics.
Read this.

It's about people and goddamn freedom.

The people have earned your time and energy, to learn their story and struggle.

Noncitizen voting in local elections was common during the 18th and parts of the 19th centuries and some municipalities in the U.S. have revived the practice. New York City passed a law permitting it, but this year it was struck down.

This sucks so bad for the people who gotta stand there with their kids.
