Saturday demonstrations 2 months after ICE goons murder 2 citizens is weak sauce - too little, too late. We need a sustained general strike; not just a day, but until the Republican Congress forces Trump back to Earth-1. If Dems can force a federal shutdown, it's time to call a GENERAL STRIKE!

And yes, I would have voted to shut down the government until the Republican senators come to the table, despite the broadening of pain it would inflicted upon the country (furloughs, etc).

You have been giving me at least some hope for the future. But I am absolutely baffled by your vote to make a simple majority sufficient to pass the pending CR. The Republicans will NEVER negotiate unless you make them. We are well past "good faith."
