The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

Good turnout at the Federal Building Plaza in Syracuse today (3/16/25). 4-500 on a blustery morning. We heard from our fired-up Rep @congressmannion.bsky.social. He's not hiding from his constituents!

The USDA was paying local farms and food suppliers to provide lunches for local students
It seemed like a win-win
Until Donald Trump and Elon Musk stopped the program
Because it wasn’t “fiscally responsible”
Cutting $1 BILLION from millions of starving school children
To pay for tax cuts

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no."
This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.
