It's been 20 days since Republicans fled DC rather than vote to impeach Hegseth, stop Trump's illegal war, or pass the Major Richard Star Act.

The ICE crackdown isn't just a Texas story. It's happening in your backyard. You don't need to send help to Texas. The neighbors who need you are on your own block. The most powerful thing you can do is organize right where you live. #LeaveNoOneBehind
