...pay federal taxes which will not go to blue states, be used as personal slush fund for Trump, and for ICE that is attacking us in blue states. So why the F*CK should I pay federal taxes? To fund ICE as they label me a "Domestic Terrorist"? Nope.

Pull back and refuse Republicans in every way dammit, because otherwise we are now required to fund our own demise.

So I should commend our Senate Dems for making this announcement and perhaps they will stick with this shut down, no matter what happens. Yes ICE is funded for a few years (at least) but when air travel ends, and most of U.S. lives are disrupted by the shutdown, it will matter! It will get everyone's attention!

We're required as of now, to pay for our own incarcerations, lack of services or deaths. Oh hell no!
