Dear Lisa Murkowski,
I know you're all scared but you're also the ones who can stop him.
STOP HIM...
Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.

Love that this column pretends Las Vegas is some model for how to do this well (it’s really not) and that the current federal government would do anything to fix the fundamentals problems with building housing on public lands (sprawl and unaffordable homes).

Public land is a promising place to build what Western cities need most and mostly don’t allow: homes and apartments for low-wage workers.

Looking at you @bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social @crow.house.gov At least show up at the Monday vigils at the ICE prison in Aurora. Show up!
Sen. Van Hollen deserves a ton of praise. The rest of the Democratic party needs to look at what he's doing, stiffen their spines and fight. We can beat these fascists, but we can't "bipartisanship" our way out. We must fight.
