This hasn’t just broken containment. It’s reaching escape velocity.

ETTD Everything. Stop him. Stop them. Do whatever you can. Thoughts & prayers alone won’t save a democracy on life support. Your vote alone is essential but not enough. We must all get out the vote at a minimum. Blue State folks: phonebank, text, write postcards & support people victimized by ICE
