More than just Trump, the House Committee on Homeland Security will be our nation's shield

It looks as though we will gain the House, so people need to start looking at this committee now, contacting legislators and making sure the literal best and brightest are here.

It is tragically clear our government and executive branch is not equipped to deal with radicalized extremists of the alt-right, III%ers, incels, white nationalists, Islamophobes, and the ultra right which sees these groups as tips of the spear in reactionary genocide.

It will be up to this committee to right that wrong.

Building a more secure internet infrastructure should be a key priority if we can retake this committee. If we stop Putin and his troll army here, we can stop them for good. Fuck building a wall around Mexico, I want to build a cyber wall at the Kremlin, and make Putin pay for it. Can we do that?
