No one deserves detention.

No one deserves deportation.

No one deserves prison.

No one deserves to be separated from their loved ones.

No human is illegal. Free them all.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

WATCH: Cory Booker holds the floor of the Senate for 15+ hours in protest of Republicans' harmful policies: "I know of only one way to do this—and I'm trying to do this myself—is to do things differently. To stand up, to speak up, to act like this is not normal in our country."

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. 

There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121
Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution
It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.

@gallego.senate.gov, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, we ALL need you to vote no on the CR precisely because of ⬇️. Government HAS shut down under Trump and Musk. Already. Please do not allow it to continue. Vote NO on the CR.
If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?

We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

a lot of all of this fuckery we're seeing boils down to "i don't want to be forced to acknowledge the existence and humanity of people who are different than me."
