Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

100% on the money. The 8 who felt safest connived to protect the rest of the caucus, especially Schumer. The others would have voted along with the Republicans but they knew it would cost them their jobs. These people represent the interests of their wealthiest donors, not ours.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,
not because the voters want them to,
not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…
they are caving because their DONORS want them to.
And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

For those that have “good senators” that are voting our way -
Call them anyways. Ask them to actively campaign to remove Schumer from his minority leader position over this unnecessary capitulation.
The Dems need to start admonishing their Vichy colleagues. It’s the only way we win.

An ordinary resolution by a majority of Senate Democrats can replace the Senate Minority Leader (link is for majority leader but it’s the same process).
If 24 Senators (counting independents to get to 47) tell Schumer he’s out if he lets the caucus cave, I doubt they cave today.

Every #Democratic cave is a new mental health crisis for a lot of us just trying to survive right now.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

“I have Black friends and they’re not saying any of what you say about racism”
Yes they are. They’re just not telling you.
Liberal, GOP, or leftist, anytime a Black person shares experience with racism with white people, it’s a tightrope walk.
Some of you aren’t as safe as you think you are.

The news that the owner of the South Shore raid building knew in advance of the raid, proactively identified non-paying units to federal authorities, and permitted/endorsed the raid fits squarely in the category of information that is essentially expected, but still horrifying.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Supposedly, demonstrators will be banned from 25th St today. Fence on Beach came down a few days ago.
