I'm sorry, but people need to be much more concerned. I feel like we've normalized this stuff so much.

The fuck are we supposed do? Make phone calls that get screened and ignored? Write letters that get immediately trashed? Empty our life savings into advertising campaigns? Start a guerrilla war against ICE?

People ARE concerned, more than ever. But the only peaceful option that we haven't tried yet is voting, so people are gonna vote.
