I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing for moms & working families as Trump and Republican leadership try to take away our healthcare (Medicaid), childcare (Headstart), our vote (#HandsOffHerVote), our vaccines & research, and more just to give more tax breaks to the already ultra-wealthy #MomSky
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
