seems pretty clear that MAGA plans to disrupt the midterms by sending ICE agents to demand everybody waiting in voting lines provide proof of citizenship blue states can legally ban this, but Dems have passed such a ban only in one state (New Mexico) so far www.laborpolitics.com/p/a-plan-to-...

What's Our Plan to Stop ICE From Stealing the Midterms?

Like bowling, boycotting is best done together I wrote this piece to share with your friends and family who think they're "doing their part" against ICE and Trump by not shopping at bad companies www.laborpolitics.com/p/shopping-i...
