Important act of solidarity with other (actual) thrifters: Cut off the name brand tags before donating. I do this anyhow cause they itch! Nothing at these shops, especially goodwill, should be as expensive as it is right now.

Washingtonians, I’m proud of Senator Murray right now if you’d like to give Senator Cantwell’s office a call and urge her to join the obstructive protest speech, they are answering phones at 206-220-6400. Her DC office is (202) 224-3441, but I wanted to speak to a human!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
