This comic is dedicated to Renee Nicole Good and all the activists responding to her murder at the hands of ICE. Our country should not be at war with its people or with other countries. I’m horrified but not shocked that the top Democrats are focused on other issues, refusing to say if they would cut ICE funds.
I wish our top leaders were more like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who said:
I understand that Vice President Vance believes that shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. And that is a fundamental difference between Vice President Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
We have a Republican majority that has decided to completely abdicate its power to the president. I think it’s up to the American people to ensure that we take away power from those who do not use it well.
As it is, please respond as you can. Indivisible is a good place to start, with well-run calls and protests, partnerships with many other organizations, and plans to elect progressive Democrats in the primaries this year. As much as I’d rather be baking too, this is the time to stand up.
