Thank you for this article describing so many ways to fight back against trump and his gang of ICEholes. They are definitely trying to provoke protesters so the goons can declare martial law.

With you on all of this! Thank you very much for the comprehensive list. Let's keep it up, friends!

An additional action would be for Members of Congress to introduce legislation to pay victims of ICE and CBP violence, property damage and mental distress out of the huge amount of funds appropriated to DHS this fiscal year. While it may not pass it would be really important to call attention to the huge amount of damage this agency is causing to our people in the states where they deploy.

Now THAT is a legislative initiative!

The Spirit of Minneapolis and St. Paul is one of the most inspiring things I've lived to see; right up there with the Spirit of '76. It gives me real hope to see the incredible courage of citizens and allies armed only with whistles and their own brave hearts, standing up against violent, ill-trained, masked federal vigilantes toting lethal weapons and toxic chemical spray.

Despite an endless flood of propaganda from Fox, Newsmax, Twitter, Truth Social, and, increasingly, Bari Weiss's CBS, the truth is breaking through.

Thank you for the Common Cause tool. I was dismayed to find that there are ZERO Democrats on my search results here in Texas. When I go to a town council meeting, I am often the only Democrat in the room - including interested community members in the audience.

Your voice is so important in those spaces.

Luckily most of us are Star Wars fans, so I wear a Star Wars t-shirt. It helps to have a point of pleasant agreement.

Thank you for all the helpful information on how we can help. There's nothing worse than feeling powerless in the face of the atrocities being committed by this administration. Called my rep and both senators and told them to use their offices and their voices to demand that DOJ conduct a fair and complete investigation into killing of Renee Good that must include state law enforcement from Minnesota - otherwise the stench of cover-up will continue to grow.

Thank you so much for all the great resources. I live in a blue state within a very blue district, so the ideas are very helpful. Thanks very much for all that you do to keep us educated!
