Republicans would of course be appalled. Disenfranchising 600,000 people who live in Wyoming would be immoral.β

"We're calling on Amazon to stop powering ICE. Companies that profit off attacks have no place in DC." An ICE officer with his back to the camera is isolated in black and white. In the background is the exterior of a Whole Foods market, an Amazon Locker, and the Amazon Prime package tape that appears on many delivery boxes.

Frustrating indeed. The council could also spend more on DC Statehood efforts so that we have a fighting chance of being represented in Congress. We currently spend 300k on becoming the 51st state. You get what you pay for.

George Washington was called the American Cincinnatus-a high honor.
The Roman Cincinnatus did his duty, handed back power, and happily returned to his farm.

Proud that our students will not sit by or stay silent as their Blair classmate was taken by ICE. We cannot stay quiet and hope for the best when the worst is already happening. Itβs time to flex. To organize. To work harder and smarter. Itβs all hands on deck.
