The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes.
Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.
Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.
We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

Trump voiding autopen orders isn’t about signatures.
It’s a blueprint.
If you can erase policy by questioning how it was signed, you can erase whole institutions by questioning who is “legitimate.”
This won’t stop at paperwork.
The real targets come next.
