Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

The boring white men with money and power… the delusional ones who think they’re fascinating and hilarious… the ones who demonize anyone who doesn’t adore them… They’re killing this country (and us) to get more money and more power. Because they can’t get laid without it.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.

Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it.
That isn't a radical tactic, it's what the GOP has done for years for trivial matters. Unlike this, which is catastrophic.
