We don’t have access to the huge resources that the right can throw at elections, and this is a good thing. We have to build things from the ground up and can only rely on actually winning people over.

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.
