I follow the news, but I also need to get to work on efforts to move somewhere else. My wife is completely terrified of moving far-away from family, but of course, I'm rather terrified of living under a fascist state.
The term "card-carrying" refers to me. I have a literal membership card from said activist organization. I am fighting back.
EDIT: Actually, no, I have two membership cards. One is from my normal activist org, the other from the ACLU.
