This is one of many videos that Patty Murray has posted, sharing the stories of her constituents, and as you can see from the likes, this is getting traction, which is amazing
Raphael is a disabled Army veteran who worked at the VA in Seattle and played a critical role in processing servicemembers' disability benefits.

He's received nothing but stellar performance reviews.

Elon Musk fired him with ZERO justification. Help share his story.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong.

He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man.

There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self

An absolute joke

Watch Patty Murray.
When Schumer steps back, she always steps up to lead.

She’s quiet but she works magic behind the scenes.
This is @murray.senate.gov's effort to track what Trump has cut. I'd love to crowdsource a way to make this a point of exchange, to collect info from contractors who've gotten cut off, and match it to what she's learning as Appropriations Ranking.

Yes, I will look for it, but buy from my independent shop. Have you seen Bishop Edgar Budde's sermon to Trump?
This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

teensy tiny correction: the government does not have to provide you an attorney for immigration court, so you should make arrangements with one now. Just someone you can call if you get yoked up by ICE.

If you ask for one, they will not and do not have to provide you one.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
