This is a great take. Funny how the states rights issue goes away once they get the stick.
They are going to target Blue cities and blue states first for three reasons one to dominate blue states, two this is not as much about deportations as it is deploying a de facto police state and three they want to collapse blue states economies to try and change the election math for governors.

It's easy. Step 1: Get off your ass. Step 2: Commit time and energy to the cause. Step 3: Repeat.
Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do.
1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run.
2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant

This is AMAZING!!!
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

If you're looking for stories that reflect our times. Check out Andor and Silo. Both are riveting, well-acted, and nail-biting.
