Go to work or move aside for someone willing. We don’t support tantrums, so if you are too good to talk to other representatives on behalf of your constituents, assemble to swear-in a duly elected member of the House, and do the bear minimum of showing up, then find some other line of work. You are not entitled to represent this district. You have the privilege to represent it, and that privilege can be taken away. It cannot be so important to starve children and price families out of healthcare that you cannot bear to end this undeserved vacation. Speaker Johnson was lying through his teeth when he said that Republican members are doing some of the most important work of their careers right now. You are exemplifying cowardice and stubbornness for truly evil ends. Have you sat with this? Prayed on this? Does it concern you at all? Do better. Do something.

Text SIGN PCFBKG to 50409 — We are now in the territory of Pastor Niemoller's famous poem: First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me Trump's bigotry is coming for everyone: for trade unions, for a list of words, for research. The detention of Mahmoud Khalil by ICE is a violation of the rule of law and due process. Khalil has been charged with no offense. What happened to the rule of law? What happened to the first amendment? (It prohibits Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. ) If you let due process and the rule of law be overturned for Mahmoud Khalil, who will be next? This is not just an issue for Mr Khalil, not just an issue for New York State. Hold hearings and bring ICE agents in to answer questions under oath. Make additional funding for ICE contingent on accountability and legality. If you do nothing you are complicit in the death of the rule of law and the rise of tyranny

As a constituent, I deserve the opportunity to hear from you directly and pose questions about the actions you take on my behalf and on behalf of my neighbors. There are not many requirements for representatives, but I would argue the most obvious, important job is in the name: represent. Your availability to your constituents at this point correlates directly to your bravery, and I hope that you will not show the cowardice of many of your colleagues. Opting for “controlled settings” is admitting you cannot answer to the people who have given you this sacrosanct job within the United Stated government and those who rely on you to stand up for our values and opportunities. If you do not meet the moment, then you do not deserve the office. Please advocate for your positions and hear what we have to say in response. Congressional recess is not a break from your duties.
