@schumer.senate.gov there is still time to act with integrity and vote no on cloture and this harmful legislation. Or go ahead and support Trump, Musk and their Republican supplicants and forevermore carry that shame.
The case for no on the bill and cloture is strong and widely supported by everyone with integrity, everyone doing their utmost to oppose this destructive legislation. You, on the other hand, are not leading, not helping, not standing up, and I wish you'd just let someone who would replace you. Now.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

DEI or DIE?
As I see it, we can actively work towards Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or we’re supporting the opposite: Dominance (of white cis het able bodied men), Inequity, and Exclusion. What’ll it be?
