What we saw during the midterm elections was a rebuke on Donald Trump, Republicans, and their horrifying policies of corruption, hate, deportation, intimidation, retaliation, and they’ve given us a mandate for bold change and justice.
We can do that in this country and be successful, and the American people are waiting for that courage that we talk about to translate into action that they can feel.
There’s been a big push, particularly in New York and around JFK, to block these transfers and it’s good that people are putting pressure locally, but ultimately it is Congress’s responsibility to make that happen.
For us as Democrats to say we are not going to address it is to say we don’t give a fuck what’s happening to our people.
