"Hundreds of protesters lined up outside a south Charlotte Home Depot on Wednesday morning to protest the arrest of day laborers.."

"Saldivar said protesters went inside of Home Depot, but were asked to leave by employees. She said she wished they would ask Border Patrol or ICE to leave as well."
Protests call on Home Depot to stop allowing Border Patrol, ICE arrests at stores
“They say they’re deporting the worst of the worst,” one protester said. “But day laborers are the best of the best.”

Can 'we the people' register a vote of no confidence for minority leader Schumer? He is not meeting the moment at all. I'm beginning to question his commitment. We need a fighter for our democracy. We can't afford this, now of all times, this is critical! @murray.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov

@maddow.msnbc.com it's not just the 8, but ineffective leadership unable to hold his caucus together. Now, thousands will lose healthcare or die. Now, Repubs know Dems are terrible at poker. This is not disappointing, it is catastrophic and unconscionable! I am now an Independent. #schumerresignnow

@schumer.senate.gov resign. You are not an effective leader. We need fighters, not cavers. #schumerresignnow

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Wow, after Dems moment of victory, sounds like some Senate Dems are ready to fold. I guess they don't care if some of us have healthcare and/or die. Do they believe Repubs will meet later to discuss healthcare? Fools. I've been a proud Dem my entire life. Ready to become an Indy now. Disgusted.

This 69 yr old lesbian is INSPIRED by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his team and supporters! We need more courageous voices like his in the Democratic party, esp. in these times. It's obvious he cares, and has taken the time to listen to the needs of the people of NYC. He'll be a great leader!

We can't afford to ignore these atrocities towards many communities in our OWN COUNTRY. Our 'daily lives' as they are now for some of us, are a temporary illusion. Eventually, the corruption, grift, law-breaking, cruelty, and cultural back-sliding will affect all our lives, and souls.
I get it: it’s terrifying to admit what’s happening right now.

No one wants to believe their nation is falling into authoritarianism, that the norms they relied on in the past are no longer givens, that the can’t-happen-heres are actually happening here.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov hold strong for the American people and our healthcare. Absolutely no sense and a dereliction of duty for any Dems to vote for the GOP budget.
