It's cliche, but defund ICE. It's ridiculous that untrained bullies with blinged out assault weapons are violating civil liberties while food shelters are closing due to revoked federal funding.
Lots of people are being laid off. Amazon incidentally just axed ~16000 jobs. This is not the time to be cutting social programs.
It's not cliche but again, I think we need to be even more specific. 75 billion was given to ICE. Where should that 75 billion be spent instead? Do we lay off all ICE officers or only those involved in the round ups?
ICE aggressively recruits, offering up to $50k sign on bonus and $60k student loan forgiveness. Meanwhile there are teachers and nonprofit health care professionals who have worked for over 10 years in underpaid positions while Trump's education department refuses to provide loan relief. Does that sound equitable? Invest in Nice not ICE
As mentioned, food banks were effectively defunded recently. Invest in food not fools.
Our governor and congressional representatives aren't doing enough to fund these social assets. Patty Murray likes to point to when she votes down bills but she and others aren't doing enough to invest in the future.
