Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process.
He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer.

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas fought for both environmental justice and human rights. She protected migrant farm workers and pushed for indoor plumbing in segregated Miami neighborhoods. "She had a tongue like a switchblade and the moral authority to make things happen." #TheMarchContinues

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.”

Step up, stand up, speak out.
This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid.
Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.
