If you wish to address National Guard troops on the streets of your city, tell them, "I'm sorry they're making you do this," or "I bet you miss your family." Be kind to them. They are not ICE.

This is an important point.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Texas National Guard troops arriving in Chicago (via ABC News)

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

I’m so disappointed in our party’s leadership!

Leadership needs to get tough —

Help elect Mamdani !

Support AOC, Bernie, and other progressives.

We want — we NEED — our Country back!
