... I will do whatever is necessary. I'll be in the streets, I'll be protesting. If ICE shows up - I'll be there, I will offer sanctuary in my home ... what are your plans? At some point we just have to stop waiting for "Godot".

Only a handful have spoken up to unconstitutional threats and lies.
They include Senators Sanders and Warren and Governor Pritzker.

The other "leaders"?
NADA, ZILCH, ZIP, NIL, BUPKIS, RIEN
A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.
