If you’re blaming voters who didn’t in the presidential because of Gaza instead of (1) people who affirmatively voted for Trump or instead of (2) Joe Biden, who repeatedly broke the law to help a man who wanted him to lose, maybe pause before you post.

Reading "plug into community" has been incredible painful for me, because most of my "communities" have been unhealthy or abuse apologists. I also grew up isolated. "Communities" have ='ed rejection and pain for most of my adult and childhood life.

If law enforcement wants to enter your home, unless you consent, they need a JUDICIAL warrant like a search warrant. And you'll notice cops with search warrants don't ask permission.
If ICE needs your permission to enter, they don't have a judicial warrant. They have an administrative warrant.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

It's bad out there! A large PNW egg farm - Wilcox Farms - sent out a letter explaining that their insurance dropped avian flu coverage, and that literally NO insurance companies will offer coverage for it anymore. So they have to provide their own insurance, to do which they must raise prices
