First: I have added a bunch of tags in the course of tagging old posts, but feel free to ask for more, including state:$your_state if that seems appropriate.
I went to a local meeting to watch the ACLU livestream and discuss future actions. I was hoping for more on taking it to the streets, and a lot of this was either inspirational or asking us to work to make the cities or towns we live in freedom cities. "Freedom cities" seems to be basically the same as "sanctuary cities," with a specific list of policies/rules we're supposed to ask for; the name change is (per the livestream) because ACLU leadership thinks that term is "tainted" (which I think means the administration will stomp on anyone using that, but I think they'll catch on to this one pretty fast).
