This is a moderate position and every single democrat including and especially @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov should be shouting it from the rooftops.

THIS is a post about the CR. Call your reps and senators and tell them not to fund this government.

One of the news items very overlooked today is that something historic happened in Syria. It became the first Arab country to recognise Kurdish as a national language, Kurds as a national minority, institute laws protecting Kurds, and undo the horrible Assad crime who stripped Kurds of citizenship.

Any Democrat legislator who votes with Repubes on any issue can look forward to being voted out of office.

We need lots of new Democratic newbies ready to run against the Dem legislators who are currently deadbeats.

No CR budget unless ICE is abolished. No additional funding. No more taxpayer money to fund a domestic terrorist organization bent on destroying people's lives and inflicting agony, despair, & demoralization.

ICE and Trump have been increasingly shut down by the judges and courts.

Their solution is to ignore their rulings and violate basic civil rights.

Dont sell to ICE. Don’t serve ICE. Don’t rent to ICE.

And don’t let your family and friends do any of those.

Freeze out ICE.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

And punished—severely.
the criminal oligarchs in the white house need to be impeached, removed, investigated, and prosecuted on the world stage if we ever hope to be respected

Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. Thank you Mr. Green from Texas. At least one DEM has the guts to attack the dictator. The only question is WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATS? Protesters are getting killed! And you blah,blah.

Amazing that neither Trump, nor any member of his cabinet, is facing impeachment proceedings right now. 🤷‍♀️

And to preempt: I don't care if it will fail — do it anyway.
And when it fails — do it again.
