Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

Texas voter here, we already lost 3 House Dem Congressmen from Cancer and the establishment Dems like Chuck again risking a 77 year old

So Maine voters don’t fall for this mistake again, Reject Mills and Vote Platner we can’t risk losing more house members like we had this year

They got what they wanted. Kamala Harris lost the election, and Trump is president. So, what do these protesters want now, and why aren’t they protesting Donald Trump?

“I’m not president right now. There’s nothing I can do.” - Kamala Harris (private citizen)

They’re the same people that don’t criticize the Hamas, the weak Leadership of Palestine or Mahmoud Abbas, like what are the leaders there doing about it to fight back, the answer is nothing, they are just allowing their own people to be to get airstrike and can’t anything about it

At least 16 people have died in ICE custody so far this year.

At least 1,250 people detained by ICE are now missing.

Almost half of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal record.

This is fascism, and Trump made sure his oligarchs are profiting from it.

A message to those in Dem leadership

Many of us wanted Biden to stay in the race
We voted for him in the primaries
We weren't ready to give up on him as he saved us after Trump

It was Dem leadership that caused the distrust
Kamala was a great candidate

Lessons to learn

Classmate leaked it. This is a photo of the real shooter Matthew James Ruth from high school.

About 7 years out of date, but more accurate than the living 30 year old you all keep sharing.

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update.

ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting.

She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.
