We are passionate supporters of all but one of the items on the Hands Off agenda for the April 5 rallies. We couldn’t agree more that the corrupt U.S. government should stop destroying, privatizing, firing, and giving away the post office, schools, land, Social Security, healthcare, environmental protections, and all sorts of essential public services.

Funny how so many people who are incensed that Trump is dismantling our democracy in broad daylight are not incensed that the US (under both parties) has been supporting a genocide carried out in broad daylight.
I guess that's why @CoryBooker managed to speak for 25 hours without mentioning Gaza.
