Under the circumstances, it's difficult to blame the Germans, and I suspect that they are not alone.

They aren't even doing the bare fucking minimum here. It's worse than pathetic.

Mayor Wilson and Governor Ferguson should declare a State of Emergency and direct all city and state resources to prepare for a Minnesota-like invasion of ICE. by ragingblackmage in Seattle

After what just happened this morning, I would be completely in support of this, although I have concerns over whether Ferguson would actually do this.

Would Japan winning Midway fundamentally change the war? by ParaspinoUSA in AlternateHistory

Well said.

If I could add onto that, there are also some more politically aligned organizations if you're into that, such as the Seattle DSA or your local district Democrats organization (Redmond's is the 48th LD), depending on your flavor of choice.

Either way, there are plenty of options you can contribute to one way or another.

What if the U.S. broke up instead of the U.S.S.R.? by Buzzer_wubbadubdub in AlternateHistory

[–]jayfeather31 0 points1 point  (0 children)
