I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA:
"What about all the citizens murdered by illegals".
Then get a warrant and go arrest them!
Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

like it seems painfully clear that current elected Democratic leadership is in no way laying groundwork, be it legislative, rhetorical, moral, whatever, for any kind of major reforms. They just aren't, and there's no reason to think they're gearing to do so if they regain power. That's a problem!

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.
