Maxwell Frost: This isn't deportation. This is kidnapping!

We call it what it is not to be hyperbolic, not to make something out of nothing. But to be honest about what we see with our very eyes. eyes. And then this administration wants to lie to us about what we saw on that video!

Chris Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States.

Ezra Levin: We're here to remember Renee...They called her a terrorist as a message to you all. They know who she is. She is one of the millions of people in America over the last year who have been protesting against a fascist takeover of our government.

Sara Haghdoosti: We cannot assume that Trump is bluffing when he is talking about doing this and Nicaragua, in Cuba, in Iran, and in Greenland as well. It is up to us to push back like we have so many times before.

Sara Haghdoosti: We are at a flashpoint here. I know that when it comes to issues like this, in moments like this, when the fear and pain is so real, it can feel like we might not be able to create change. And we just had a senator on this call that told us we do have power.

Tim Kaine: It's time to get this out of the classified setting and before the American public…Housing is up, food is up, healthcare is up, childcare is up. Energy is up. We can't run the US economy, and they're claiming that they're going to seize Venezuelan oil and run the Venezuelan economy?

Nelini Stamp: We have seen this story before. Intervention. Occupation. Regime change. It never ends with freedom. It ends with trauma, displacement, violence, and families paying the price – while corporations cash the checks.

Brittany DeBarros: I joined the military because I believed in the kinds of things we're hearing the Trump administration claim right now...I found myself in the middle of a war that was doing nothing but spending American tax dollars as my own community struggled to survive and live at home.

Sam Ratner: This is not just a war for oil, but a war for oil executives. Already today Trump was saying that U.S. taxpayers should front the money to rebuild Venezuelan oil infrastructure, all while oil companies keep the proceeds from the oil.

Greg Casar: So to get things straight – while Donald Trump on the one hand is cutting healthcare for millions of people – he's creating an offshore slush fund for himself.

Greg Casar: My entire adult life politicians have been starting wars for regime change and to make their corporate donors profits...I'm here to say, with one voice alongside you all: we need Healthcare, not Warfare.

Carolina Jiménez Sandoval: The Trump administration's return to Gunboat Diplomacy, and disregard for international law, damages U.S. position and standing globally and alienates important allies.

Chris Percy: Trump is wasting time and resources on reckless military actions that only benefit his billionaire cronies and big oil. But we want healthcare, not warfare!

Chris Percy: We also want to acknowledge the devastating shooting in Minnesota today and hold the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community in our thoughts...From the illegal intervention in Venezuela to the mass ICE agents destroying people's lives, it’s all a part of the same story.
