If you're following the government shutdown fiasco, all dems asked for was for healthcare subsidies to not be cut (weak & soft). Trump & MAGA said fuck off, refused to negotiate, lied & said dems were trying to give healthcare to "illegals", & proceeded to blame dems for the looming shutdown anyway.

First he said “don’t even bother dealing with” Democrats to avoid a shutdown.
Now he’s cancelled a meeting with Democratic leaders.
Trump is holding the government hostage—demanding a blank check for his lawlessness or he’ll shut it down.
I will not surrender to his blackmail.

What ICE just did to me was a violent abuse of power — and yet it’s nothing compared to what they’re doing to immigrant communities.
I’ve been fighting the right as a journalist and now I’m running for Congress to do the same in DC.
Because we deserve leaders who will actually stand up for us.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever.
We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns.
